Tap at Cheeseburger in Paradise (Island Ale). Clear amber pour, not much head at all. Taste was pretty straightforward, not much going on. I would have preferred with food, because this had a bit of an edge to it without something to clean the palate.

Clear light straw body, thick off-white head. Aroma of a tart apple jolly rancher, suggesting beer is not the priority here. Strong apple flavor, with definite cinnamon notes on the finish, but preserving a solid natural fruit palate. And, what credit does a beer deserve for making ample use of fresh apples but little use of hops and malt? Tough questions for tough times.

12oz Bottle pours out a amber topped with a small off white head. A very nice aroma off caramel of toffee very sweat. The tast not as good as the aroma. But not to bad overall.

Also available in december. 12 oz twist off brown bottle. Once open smells like sweet berries. Has a berry orange red color when it pours with a cloudy hue. Of the three fruit beers I’ve tasted tonight; harbor blueberry, oxford raspberry and this, it is the best by far. Sweet but not sickening sweet, however it does seem like the honey and berry flavors were added after brewing. Comes across something like a wine cooler or cheap champagne. Finish lingers sweet. Not as good as lancaster strawberry wheat.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a cloudy yellow color with a small white head that fades quickly. The aroma is strong, sweet and fruity - lemon and orange. The flavor is strong, tart, and has a tangy artificial grape and orange flavor that is pretty pleasant. The finish is a bit dry and grainy. Nice.

bottle - Pours pink with a thin head. The aroma is malt and raspberries. The flavor is sweet and completely dominated by the berries. It’s not quite a wine cooler sweetness. It’s better than coolers. The mouthfeel and light and refreshing and the sweetness carries into the finish. This isn’t bad.

I don’t know how this beer sustains such a high rating. I purchased it with high expectations, but the moment that I began drinking, the taste of apricots (or maybe pine needles as someone said before) overwhelmed my poor mouth. The beer seemed to be almost flat the moment that I poured it and the color was also rather unappetising. I tried to finish this beer as fast as possible in order to move onto a better beer. Maybe this is just not my style, I don’t know.

Clear typical pale yellow american beer appearance. Taste is good. Nicely lively, but not overly. Finish is a little bitter with no linger.

Nice full amber red color. Big fluffy head that takes awhile to dissapate. Other than appearnace, nothing stands out about this beer.

Pour is a copper with a big white head. Aroma is non-existant. Flavor is much the same. No real malts or hops are present. Finish is watery and bland. Not a marzen.
