Historical Community Tasting Notes

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

Bottled. Clear gold with a thin white head. Has a rather honey-ish caramel aroma, some light appley fruit notes. This is thin feeling and syrupy tasting with very little hop flavor to cut the bland sweetness of it. Has sweet malty flavors of honey, caramel, apple, biscuit that I found very cloying. Has a little bit of a plasticy chemical hint.
