3.9/5  rDev -2.5%
A - Hazy golden amber in color. Very thin head that disappears quickly. 3.75/5

S - Very very sweet. Clover honey. Pear. Caramel. Woody. Sweetness overshadows everything. 3.75/5

T - Taste follows the smell dead on. Caramel. Toffee. Clover honey. Pear. White bread. Alcohol burn on the finish. Reminds me of a later harvest white wine. Hops are hard to find through the sugar but they are there (grassy). Light maltiness reflective of the pilsner malt. Hint of woodiness/oak. No lingering bitterness. A bit boozy. 4/5

M - Sticky sweet. Very heavy due to the stickiness. 4/5

O - Definitely a sipping beer. Very thick and sticky sweet. I would suggest drinking this with dessert (something sweet to cut the crazy sweetness of this beer). There's a lot going on here but the sweetness steals the show. 4/5
