Bottle. It’s a slightly hazy, amber beer topped by a two-finger off-white head leaving some lacings. Citrus peel dominates the aroma, with some caramel and bready malts in the back. Good bitterness. Full-bodied and smooth, maybe a bit more carbonated than is good, but still pleasant in the mouth. The finish has some caramel sweetness, with a good citrusy bitterness to finish the whole thing. A beer that is easy to like and easy to drink. Quite quenching too. 100529

(2004 bottle) Pours a dark brown/red color with a small head. It has a very sweet aroma, dried fruits, sugars. Flavor is incredibly sweet, no grain/hop flavor to speak of (very subtle) and touches of caramel, dried fruits, etc. IT was okay, but not exactly something I’d want to have often. I have a few of the younger vintages, so I’ll see how those are in a little bit.
