I've Seen Bigger Than Yours

I've Seen Bigger Than Yours, ToOl, Copenhagen, Denmark
(Fruit Beer, Rated 94)

Though categorized as a fruit beer, this is more of a barley wine with some amazing flavors added. Pours a reddish-brown color. Aromas of oranges, raspberries, dark fruits, raisins, and breaded malt. Tastes like a fruit cocktail mixed drink with those same oranges, raspberries, light citrus, dark fruit sweetness, and caramel malt. Medium mouthfeel and juicy as hell. The 14% booze is surprisingly subtle. Absolutely delicious!

(Fruit Beer/Radler, Rated 80)

This beer was a winner at Terrapin's first annual Employee Homebrew Challenge. It's a winner here too. Hazy, golden-yellow pour with a gushing, light, white head that seemed to go on forever. Took a while to settle down. Nice, simple aromas of pineapple, lemons, light malt, and grass. The taste is fantastic with a pineapple sweetness that is just slightly subdued by a smooth, smoky finish. Not overly fruity and not overly smoky. A refreshing beer.
