Jun 12, 2008 On tap at HOTD sale in Portland--light, clouded copper-amber body with no head. Nose of chewy, squash and some subtle sugars. Spicy, malty, and interesting, though not that great. Might pair up good. I need to revisit this brew.

Apr 4, 2008 Draft from beer dinner at Collins Pub. Very vegetal with spiced malt. A little alcohol burn. Smooth and interesting. Enjoyable. Served with a squash soup that was a wonderful, if not obvious, pairing.

Jan 3, 2008 Hand bottles at both SD Strong Ale Fest and Madness at the Moose. Poured a lightly hazed golden copper color with an off-white head. The aroma was sweet and malty. Almost a candy like quality to it. Oddly some alcohol. The flavor was malty with a hint of spice. The body was fuller than expected for such a low alc beer. Medium bodied.

Jan 3, 2008 Poured light hazy amber with a small head. Veggie aroma. Taste is slightly spiced, with a mixed veggie undertone of squash and slight sweet citrus. Surprisingly not bad. This one surely opens the door to the no-hop creativity. Very glad to try this.
