"Wine Beer"
The taste of this beer was very complex, each sip had varying flavors. The high alcohol content is hidden very well in this beer, not a boozy tasting beer. The taste was much lighter and smoother than I expected from a bold beer. A very sweet tasting beer that carried honey,apples, grape and some vanilla notes. This beer seemed like a white wine/champagne hybrid beer. The beer was a little to sweet for my liking and there are so many other outstanding choices from Dogfish Head.
