Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

UPDATED: APR 17, 2007 as soon as i cracked this open i got a beer whiff of SKUNK, but it went away quickly..........nice goldencaramel color, aroma is spicy with some yeast. flavour is very slightly hoppy with some fruit, and sweetness, with a tiny carameish finish. veru interesting beer.
(bottle - 11.2 oz) Golden color with a puffy white head. Aroma is spicy with lots of yeast, cloves, herbs, and some citrus. Flavor is very spicy and yeasty with a slightly sour and bitter finish and a touch of caramel. Very fizzy and overly carbonated.
Ive been meaning to try one of these. Its just a such a immature label that i never took it for real. turns out it tastes alright. though somewhat indiscenrable from most BSAs i remember a distinct spiciness.
