Sword Swallower poured a semi-hazy, amber color with a thin, off white head.  The nose is malty, with notes of honey, peaches, and apricots.  The body is short and smooth up front.  There is a light malt base with some fruity sweetness. The finish is crisp, and leaves a long lingering dryness.  Overall, this is a solid beer and a very interesting style.  The surprise here is the quick transition from a deep, fruity body to the crisp, dry finsh. 

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
