[2] Review by jonmoore from United Kingdom who has tried this beer once. (2/2/2006 6:08:52 PM)
"Bottle. Dark reddish amber colour with a slim and sparse head. Vinous aroma with lots of fruit, malt, and some hops. Flavours are sweet, fruity and sour with a long hoppy finish. Full bodied and smooth with warming alcohol on the way down. Very good."
