Commercial Description:
This amber ale is dosed with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and fresh orange zest. It is well balanced with low hop flavor and nice hint of the spices in the finish. This spiced ale is not overbearing; rather it is smooth and very drinkable.

Fairly smooth - nice deep amber color. Notes of cinnamon and a few other mild spices are there. Slightly sweet and warming.

ONe of the more palatable seasonal/spice brews. Pours a nice red copper brown. Spice doesn’t bite your tongue, though it’s still there. CLoves, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, it’s all there but a better mixture than most.

Bottle. Pours a translucent brownish amber with golden notes and a smaller creamy off white head that left some lacing. Aroma of strong ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon. Getting a touch of the orange and some caramel and nuts. I actually enjoyed the aroma on this one. While the spices were upfront I think it was appropriate for what they are going for. In the flavor the spices were a little more subdued with more of a toasted malt/nuts up front. Would have liked a little more body.

On tap at Gettysburg. Aroma was very spiced with cinnamon being dominant. Taste was also spiced with a good amount of malt sweetness. Not much in the way of bitterness here. Mouthfeel was a little watery.

Had this on draft at the brewpub in Camp Springs. Very nice. The commercial description is accurate. BTW the food was good at the pub and the service was stellar. Recommended.
