275 mL bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville, VA. Pours lighter than expected.. a medium amber color with a bit of a head. Aroma is lemon, tea and other citrus notes. Taste is sweet with big citrus notes and a bit of tea, ginger and cola. This comes across much like carbonated lemon tea to me. Prevalent but soft carbonation. A bit sticky and medium bodied.

275ml bottle - well, I wanted something rare and unusual for number 1400, something that no one else would save for a milestone, and this sure fit the bill - clear golden pour, with a slight copper tint - lemon and herbal touches in the aroma, with slight whiffs of vanilla and ginger - mild sweetness, with lots of lemony tartness, and crisp carbonation - light vanilla/cream soda-like flavors show themselves, but just briefly, as a grainy, malty, beer kick jumps out at you near the finish - think of it as a soda for the beer lover - crisp, flavorful, and refreshing.
