I was wary of the clear glass bottle, but was hopeful because it was a new addition at my local store- thus it couldn't have been exposed too long. Plus, I was enticed my the great artwork and attractively shaped bottle. Well, thats the last time I fall for that. As soon as I popped the crown, I knew I had made a mistake. Peew. Skunking coated my whole mouth, making it nearly impossible to get the flavors. Nothing in the aroma but skunk. Upon close scrutiny, I detected some nice fruity malts and a little bit of hops, but it took alot of effort - the skunking really masked all the good stuff. Really nice looking garnet colored beer, though. And the bottle is even worth keeping and displaying.
