[edit] Reviews
With this beer you get the sweetness as an undertone, and peripheral notes of gentle sourness. Lots of body here, and fruitiness that doesn't go away after the first few sips, which is quite a feat for an autumnal brew. The fizziness is definite, but comes almost as an afterthought, as in oh yeah, this is beer you're drinking, after all. It has some of the heartiness and distinctive flavor of Capital's Blonde Doppelbock, but with a much more gentle approach. --Betty Pipetti
