Dec 29, 2003 If it weren't for the aroma, this beer would have rated much higher. The golden amber color has no head. Overpowering spice hop aroma almost smells skunked. If you can get past that, the light body is clean and refreshing. No bitterness follows the slightly spicy flavor. Some caramel and a warm plum taste. Finishes well.

Dec 13, 2003 On draught at the brewpub. Pours a clear light amber color with a thin off-white head. Minimal lacing. The aroma is lightly spiced with a faint hops presence as well. The body is on the light side, and nothing really stands out in the flavor. Some hops, some spice, and some malt but none in enough quantity to make this a really good beer. The finish is short and lightly bitter. I know they can do better than this.
