Pours a dull copper. Smells of mead and champagne. Something I've never smelt before in a beer it's very interesting. If you thought the smell was interesting so is the taste. I taste champagne, wine, mead, and a cider ale. Goes down about as easy as a 9% beer could.
= A big surprise here. I had no idea what this would taste like hence why I tried it. A unique flavor that blends well together and goes down just as easy. If this is the beer people drank 2000 years ago send me back in time...

Complete and total surprise on tap.
Pours slightly cloudy amber with very little head.
Tine bit on the funky side--almost trying to get to a sour with the mouth feel without the most of the acid. Esthers come through--pear and dried fruits. Had a little essence of homemade wine. Alcohol completely hidden
I think this one nails it. Really worth a shot --unique. Tasted like very little made today
