Bottle was pretty cloudy.<\/p>\n<p>A &#8211; Very cloudy (mostly due to be transported) with a bright yellow creamy 2 finger head that faded to some stickies.<\/p>\n<p>S &#8211; The nose is really nice! Lots of lemon,lime. Very grape forward with a nice dryness. smells really really good!<\/p>\n<p>T &#8211; Okay, so the taste falls short. It starts really nice and then you get a sweet candy like taste in the middle. finish goes back to basics with a nice dry finish with a touch of port wine. I think currently, this beer is too sweet for me with maybe candy and jolly rancher sour.<\/p>\n<p>M &#8211; Decent mouthfeel. Champagne like<\/p>\n<p>O &#8211; I\u2019d like to see if this fades so I\u2019ll grab some bottles to keep for a few years.
