My Overall Opinion: Good 
I paired this beer with: Ravens vs Patriots AFC Championship Game & Snyder’’s Pretzels
Tasted on: Sunday January 22, 2012
Notes:
The beer poured a light & cloudy straw color with a large 3 finger billowing head with medium to large sized bubbles. The beer left a nice lacing on the glass.
The nose was of faint sour apples and some earthy undertones.
The taste started off with mildly sour green apples and yeasty. Midway through I picked up some of the cloves and coriander. It finished crisp and dry
The body was light to medium body with the feel of champagne from all the carbonation.
The drinkability was very good and this would be a good substitute for champagne at brunch time.
Overall I rated this beer as Good, But I was torn between Good & Very Good and in the end I gave it a “Good” as it was more one dimensional. However YOU might think otherwise, so if you can Try it Yourself because it might end up being Very…..!!!
