Poured into a pint glass. Had at New World Tavern--Plymouth

Appearance: 1/2 inch head, moderate carbonation, gold in color, clear

Smell: toasted malt and light caramel

Taste: big time sweet caramel, light mix of earthy and grassy hops that really show at end

Mouthfeel: very sweet with slightly bitter end, moderate carbonation, medium-light bodied

Overall: Delicious especially if you like sweeter beers. Reminds me a bit of the Southern Tier Cuvee beers without the oaking. Hopefully they will bottle this at some point.

3.55/5  rDev -0.6%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5

Poured on-tap and served in a tumbler, the beer is a hazy, cloudy, yellow-gold coloring with a light, fluffy, filmy white coating of head. Aromas of toasted biscuits, floral highlights, and a subtle kiss of hops. Flavors are rich and roasted, with a butter and biscuit backbone supporting a mild fruit blend of pear and pineapple, along with a wet, subtle, resiny hops balance. Very solid lacing along the glass as you drink. The aftertaste is roasty and spiced, with a tangy fruit sweetness that borders on cloying. Smooth, midbodied, the beer has a rich, slick finish.
