Pours a coppery-amber from a bottle with a fresh milk colored head with good lacing. Fruity aroma, not classic fruit, sort of a peach, flavor is similar, maybe a little mango in there. Good bitterness in the finish. The best of their bottled beers, and on par with their brewery-only beers.

Taster pour at Craft Beer Race New Haven. Appearance is hazy, medium brown with ring of off-white head, light lacing. Aroma is strong concord grape over caramel malty base. Taste is strong concord grape, like you added beer to Welch’s grape juice. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin, foamy texture, soft-to-average carbonation and sweet grape over mildly bitter finish. Overall, a nice idea but the grape leaves are way too dominant rather than a hint or complement.

Draft at Cinderella’s, Cambridge, MA. Dark amber/mahogany and opaque with a beige head. Aroma and taste of bread, malt, and spice. Bland and forgettable, but quite drinkable.

Bottle at home, I bought a couple random sixers of u offensive brew for regular folks than these guests showed up with wine and vodka and now I’m left with bunch a beers to work through. Golden pour light grainy nose hint of citrus. Tastes of lemon, pear, grains, sand, hints of florals. Light bodied.

The Tap, Boston tap: Pours clear amber with a white head. Aroma is toffee, earthy, good bit of berry-like fruitiness. Taste is lightly bitter and quite malty. Nice finish. Well balanced. Nice beer.

This is what I’m talking about. Hazy yellow, fizzy white head. Classic quad yeasty taste, could use some more balance with the ingredients but a very good beer.
