Delicate aroma. Spicy with hints of mild clove. I could not drink a whole glass of this.

750ml bottle pours golden with a big foamy white head that stays quite well and leaves some lace. Good aroma of apple, pear, and some spice. Flavor is yeasty, apples and pears come to the tongue as well, a touch of corriander and other spice on the finish. Medium bodied with a very crisp well carbonated palate. Alcohol is well covered.. Good brew.

Tasted it as well from draft as from bottle. Fruity and a little sweet, but very balanced and really good.

I’ve had this beer many times over the years, and it has always satisfied. Has a very creamy dense head with golden-orange colour, and nice clumps of yeast dance around glass. Has a strongly fruity nose and tase is sweet with crisp hops and complex corriander and spicy notes. Finish is smooth and warming.

sweet and fruity with a classy malt backing. interesting yeasty almost doughy and spicy feel. mine had moderate carbonation that was not refreshing. well made. golden color that does give off pleasant and unpleasant aromas.

The 25.4 ounce bottle poured a beautifully clear amber colored beverage with a generous white creamy head that was completely lasting and left copious lacing on the glass. The aroma was a complex blend of spices and yeast with coriander and peaches playing a major role. There were also notes of bread and pepper in the background. The body was medium-full with soft carbonation and a smooth, creamy texture. The flavor started out lightly sweet with the peach and coriander playing on the palate. The finish was moderately long with the sweetness lasting through to the end. A nice alcohol warmth also developed in the chest toward the end of the finish.

750ml bottle. Pours a clear golden with a large long lasting white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of sweet malt, corriander, yeast spice, and light herbal hops. Taste is the same with a hint of citrus. Medium mouthfeel that finishes dry and spicy. A tried and true favorite.
