I received this on tap at Harborplace in Baltimore before attending an Orioles game last week.
It was served chilled in a pint glass. It was a hazy hapricot color, or it appeared a dark brass maybe, with a 1/2" spongy tan head, that clinged to the glass like crazy leavign nice lattice-work on the sides. Lots of carbonation bubbles were left on the sides as well.
Smell is mainly of fruit malts. IT had almost an wine aroma and a bit of oily vinegar, but nothing really jumped out at me with this one..decent aroma, but sorta weak.
Taste was of sweet, undistinguishable fruit malts with some slight floral hops and yeast flavors at the finish. Nothing very great about it to be honest (not exciting).
Lots of carbonation hits my palete up front and leaves a tingly alcohol on my tongue on the swallow. The body was light-medium with a decent oily body feel.
Okay to drink, but I have had better in this style.

Hazy golden ruby color with an off-white lace the aroma of estery yeast is extremely light. The flavor is quite malty with a definite ester quality to it. The body is heavy and smooth, a bit too heavy really. The last few sips bring out a bit of sour that lends a nice finish to the brew. Easy drinking, but not a favorite.
