2007 version, $5.45 at Green’s on Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA. 500 mL brown bottle. I’ve been waiting to try this to complete my “Elf” experience. Having had the excpetionally good “Insanely Bad” a couple of days ago, this was disappointing.
Clear, golden pour with better than expected carbonation. Some lace and a thin head. Looks good in the 20 oz pint glass. Aroma is alcoholic fruit.
Slightly viscous mouthfeel and the alcohol is definitely very apparent. It has the taste of some alcoholic pears and perhaps a hint of pineapple. A wee bit solvent like.
This is a bit too alcoholic for me, and it is not all that well balanced. It seems a bit too raw and solvent based.
