Bottle. Pours a clear bright gold color. Thin white head disappates to a small ring quickly. Aromas of grain and bisquit malts. Taste is initially grain sweetness, followed by pale malts and a mild hop presence. Light body and medium carbonation, with a mild bitterness. Quite easy to drink, especially on Game Day!!!

Hazy straw color. A little yeast in the aroma. Some sourness and light flavor of a wheat beer. It is lightly tart, enough to be recognizable as a Berliner weisse.

Sample at the 2014 Infected Chimipalooza on 11/01/2014. Slightly hazy pale yellow-gold color with a thin white head that dissipates quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing. Aroma of fruit and wheat. Light-bodied with flavors of mildly tart lemons and herbal wheat. The finish is fruity with a short zesty lemon aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

One pint bottle picked up in Wisconsin - I think there are ratings for multiple versions of this beer under this entry - for example, previous ratings mention.cherries and barrel-aging - these are clearly not the case with this bottle in front of me - anyway - lightly hazy light ruby - thick, soapy lace - nose is fairly sweet, but has inviting, complex aromatics - raisin, fig, date, treacle, clove, light pepper, cinnamon - low carbonation, watery texture - flavor is a let down given the aroma - very sweet, with a lot of alcohol presence (not just the heat, but the actual flavor of the alcohol) - moderate bitterness - some raisin, treacle - just a hot, sweet mess that almost tastes like someone dumped cheap vodka into a lower abv beer.

Sample at Daily Growler UA. The beer is a hazy dark amber/copper color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malt, bourbon and caramel. Full-bodied with flavors of caramel malt, oaky bourbon and fruit. The finish is oaky with a caramel and bourbon aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Bottle poured into a shaker. Pours black with a half finger of tan head. Aroma of coffee, dark chocolate and a little caramel. Taste is light bitter and follows aroma. Mostly coffee and dark chocolate. Medium bodied with a thin and watery texture. Soft carbonation and a decently long finish. Good beer, but the mouthfeel is off.
