2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bit of a disappointment. Mainly malty,with a hint of nutmeg/cinnamon/vanilla in the finish. Aroma was very disappointing. Overall nothing that great.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Good shade of copper with a small off-white head. Aroma of cardboard, light malt and a very minimal amount of spices. Light to Medium-bodied; Malt and some sugars up front with no real spices. Aftertaste finishes with malt and perhaps a tiny amount of nutmeg. Overall, not really a holiday beer that goes with the norm...more of an amber. Good to try during the season out here in OKC! I sampled this beer from draught at the brewpub in Bricktown, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on 13-December-2005.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Deep clear orange, frothy clinging head. Bready, faintly spicy aorma. Dry, doughy malt flavor, little bitterness, not too much spice, but still a suggestive presence. Creamy, with a light fruity hoppy finish. Very like a light version of AV Winter Solstice; thus, I like it.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
(Tap) Pours a light amber color with a small white head. Aroma of nutmeg, ginger and vanilla. Taste is of muted spices, and the typical Coach’s amber malt mix. Thin mouthfeel and body. It’s all right, but a little disappointing.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
The body of this spicy ale is brassy with orange highlights and a respectable, sustained head. The body is thin, tho’. It smells like sweet oranges with nutmeg and cinnamon. Some vanilla is added to the flavor. Oddly, this isn’t as godawful sweet as it sounds. Drinkable. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Restaurant &

2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap at the Edmond location; poured a light orange with a small head . Slight nutmeg and coppery aroma. Sweetly spiced with allspice and ginger up front, but so thin bodied everything was hard to hold onto.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Tasted at the Norman location. Bright golden color with thinnish white head. Good aroma of pumpkin pie. Thin bodied pale ale with some hops. High carbonation but not bad. They said it was brewed over Thanksgiving.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
On tap at the Bricktown location: poured orange with a small white head. Mild spice aroma: a little ginger and maybe some cardamom. Weak hops and little malt. Clean and unoffensive but not too flavorful. Just plain watery.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
I was told this was an amber ale style recipe with various spices thrown into the mix. It was slightly hazy apple juice brown and gold colored with a lightly tan colored head. Nose is subtle, lightly sweet apples and cinnamon, some juniper or jasmine, along with some spicy pear scents. Texture is a bit too thin for my liking, resembled a homebrew with it’s very arid texture, but the flavor was OK - nothing too exceptional, some nice cinnamon, coriander and juniper flavors, with perhaps some rosemary as well. Lacking was a strong body, a stout or porter character would have made me fall in love with this, as I feel it would have had a strong resemblance to Anchor Our Special Ale.
