25.4 oz corked and caged bottle purchased at MGM Liquors in Golden Valley, Minnesota. The pour is a clear golden orange with a crackling two inch off white head that falls with loose bubbles. The aroma is soft clove Belgian yeast, toasted cracker malt and a bit of fruit floral hop. Some flat grass present as well. The taste is a pleasant blend of the clove Belgian yeast, the malt and dry floral hop. The palate is light to medium bodied, high carbonation level and a dry finish. Clean, easy drinking beer.

Burnt dark mohagony. Nose has a touch of burnt rubber and dark fruits. Weak taste some rubber, some tree fruit. Sweet finish. Interesting. Not mind blowing
