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.

bottle from pforei. nice rich copper colored pour. crystal clear body with a small light khaki head. malty caramel sweet aroma with some spiciness and dirty earthy hops. light sweetness on the palate with a dry bitter finish. flavors of malt, toffee and dried spices in between. light to medium body with a slight tartness on the tongue. soft fluffy carbonation. not a whole lot going on but it does get a bit more robust as it warms.

Pours clear, deep amberwith a tall, long lasting off-white head. Malty spicy aroma. Malt based flavor profile with some spicy dryness that comes in at the finish. Smooth but a bit thin. Not bad overall.
