Huge, dense, just off-white head, irregular, over finely carbonated hazy orange-ochre beer, laceblobs. Vanilla, oak, and dry cereals. Straw, dried hops and clearly white candi sugar. White candi sugar again very much in the front tastewise. Almost boozy, but certainly rather dreary - nothing to get enthusiastic about. So compulsively balanced that nothing hits. It isn't emtpy, but its slickness appears manufactured. Dull booze in a Champagne bottle. And months lost for nothing...

Thinnish bod, med carbo. Quite sweet, lots of sour cherryish fruitiness. Little else present. Tasty, good.

A bit simple, watery, sweetish. Cherry moderately present, but lacking some more beery sophistication. Drinkable, clean, just kinda boring.
