[1] Review by YumBeer from Edgewater, NJ, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (4/21/2007 12:41:32 AM)
"The first thing I noticed was the fruity wine like aroma with hints of malt and alcohol on the palette. It had an auburn copper colored body with an off-white/beige head that did not last very long. A medium bodied beer with a spicy warm like feeling in the mouth that was hoppy and dry. A little thin feel as I swallowed the beer that was spicy and very little hoppy, flowery flavor. All in all it is a very good beer to drink slowly and enjoy."

[2] Review by doulos31 from Middletown, DE, USA who has tried this beer once. (4/22/2006 8:46:14 AM)
"Poured a coppery color, small head and little lacing (I liked the color, though). Mouthfeel of a dry white whine...made my lips pucker a bit. Odd. Caramel-like flavor, with some mild spicey fruit, a touch of alcohol and a decent hop bite finish. Not bad."

[3] Review by willblake from Brick, NJ, USA who has tried this beer (1/18/2006 8:05:25 PM)
"08.05.04. Bottle, a surprise gift from a customer. Reddish amber color with a trace of a head that lingers. Aromas of blueberry, raspberry, sweet malt. Flavor is carried by a thin but coating palate that finishes sharply, dry, and hoppy - Grapeskins. More sweeeet berry and plum flavors and tartness. Some nice alcohol in flavor, but not in aroma, adds depth to taste. An interesting brew. Quite nice, really, and a great surprise. Not what I had expected when given this treat."

[4] Review by Eyedrinkale from Brooklyn, NY, USA who has tried this beer (1/5/2005 2:59:30 PM)
"Cloudy amber color with big frothy off white head. Malt and dried fruit aroma. First taste was a bit bitter with a bit of malt and figs. The 7.7% is nicely masked. The body is full and rich. The finish is smooth and clean."

"I really liked the rich, dark coloring of the beer as it poured into the glass. The flavor was nice, a bit harsh at first, but not bad overall."
