750mL bottle from Brawley's...'05 Version

Ah, my first review in several months, lets see if the senses have their thinking caps on.

Pours an orange copper body with a milky white whipped cream head. Head slowly dissipates to but a thin film above the body. Tiny bubbles take their time rising to the top. Looks majestic in my St. Bernardus chalice, although i'm sure I could take a piss in it and still think it looks amazing.

Sweet, fruity notes initially, followed by some obvious oak, and a leeetle bit of alcohol. Smells tart, almost funky like a saison or geuze.

Wonderful sweet, tart flavor up front that defibrilates your tongue. Light notes of oak and, like the aroma, a bit of alcohol but it's barely noticable. Finishes dry, while the aftertaste is orangepeel bitter. The flavor in this beer is outstanding.

Light-Medium bodied finishes dry with a wonderful aftertaste. Easy drinking as can be for a 9.5% beer. Was it worth what I paid? Yes, definitely, but I can't afford the 16.99 I spent on it.
