It's an extremely interesting looking beer. It a golden color with a bit of orange to it. It fizzes when poured. Very little head. It has a light floral and spice aroma.
It is very sweet up front. Like honey. I also get citrus, mainly orange. Then a definite floral and spiced undertone. In the end is definitely more sweetness like honey and orange. The finish is a very strange flavor with a kick of alcohol. Oh, and this is 9.5% alcohol so play nicely. Surprisingly, after the kick, the finish is pretty clean. I mean, you can taste it, but it's not weighing down your tongue. So, you keep sipping. Yes, sip it less you find floor quickly.
Everything about this beer is different. The name. The color. The flavors. Given it's sweet and high in alcohol, it is a beer you won't drink often. Even though it's really good, I don't know why I would buy this, well, ever. May be good as a dessert beer after a good meal. It really has narrow appeal. But, try it once. Maybe the Golden Monkey will grab you.
