The aromas are spicy apples. Flavors are fairly dry, tart almost sour apples with good carbonation, average body and finish like the rest. Half liter bottle to slog through.

12 ounce can, 12/30/21. Slightly hazy gold, thin fizzy head, poor retention. Aroma of pineapple and honey. Taste is pineapple juice, mild honey, some hints of vanilla. Pineapple dominates. Tasty, but, kinda one note.

Crowler from 2017 shared by Ryan at Your Old Droog Cellar Blast. Pours a clear gold with a nice body. Lots of honey on the nose with a nice tart berry note underneath. More honey, citrus, floral and tart gooseberry-like notes. Honey lingers on the finish with a mild tartness.

29 October 2021. Third Great Timternational Beer Geek Tasting. Cheers to the Ghent beer crew!

Clear red, no head. Aroma of red bell pepper, paprika, olive oil, cherry, raspberry, dark honey. Taste has sweet bell pepper, cherry, honey, some strawberry, gently spicy. Peppery finish with burning chili, smoky paprika but soothed by the sweet cherry. Heating alcohol still. Medium body, oily texture, flat carbonation. Very interesting, never tasted something like this before.

29 October 2021. Third Great Timternational Beer Geek Tasting. Cheers to the Ghent beer crew!

Clear, very pale golden, no head. Aroma of 'apothecary' (in the old-fashioned way), liquorice root, ginger, lemon peel, clove, apple, herbs, lime. Taste has sour apple, lemon & lime, bitterish herbs & spicy ginger. Tart, lemony finish, fruity yet medicinal. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Slightly too odd and medicinal.

Thinbodied mead, but refreshing. Big lemonade flavor balanced out by maybe raspberry?
