Commercial Description:
Never Summer Ale is a bold new look at winter beers: gutsy, full-bodied and an aggressive fusion of secret spices. Like the first run of the day, this ale is deep and clean, crisp and drinkable, perfectly blended for a smooth ride...through the Looking Glass. Grains: British Dark Caramel Malt, U.S. 2-row Barley. Hops: Nugget, Willamette, Cascade and Top-Secret Brewmaster's Spice.

Bright copper colour. Toasty, with slight graham cracker malts and full sugary sweetness. Standard amber ale taste...caramel, light wood, vague bread and dull Willamette hops. Uneventful.

Clear reddish-brown body with small beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, grapefruit, coriander, some pine, light caramel. Taste is chocolate and grapefruit/earthy. Watery medium body. Nice flavorful and rather drinkable beer.

Bottled. Dark amber coloured. The aroma is spicy and malty with some fruity notes. Mild flavour with hops, malts, fruits and spices present. It is sweetish with a rather dry and bitter finish. Some sharpness from the spices. Medium bodied.

Poured a medium to darker ruby red color with an averaged sized tan head. Aromas and tastes of caramel, citrus &#40;grapefruits&#41;, and light cherries lurking in the background. Lightly sweet.
