This is a bit of a milestone for me, review #1,500. A few shout outs are in order.
First to beeradvocate, for opening my eyes to the world of great beer, and a pleasant community to be a part of.
To all thos I have traded with, in paticular the creator of the canquest, woodychandler, my local hookup and all around great guy. Also to cpolking for several great trades. Ok, then, to the beer.
Poured from a brown 25.4 oz. bottle. Has a pretty bronze color with reddish hues and a 1 inch head. Smell is of fruits, malts, some yeast. Taste is fruits, alcohol, malts, spice, yeast, tasty and complex. Feels full bodied in the mouth and overall, while I wasn't blown away by it, a solid beer.
