Toasty malts, wet peppery hops, a bit of vegetable, sweet lingering finish.

(12 oz bottle: Obtained 06-Apr-06 in trade with 46er3498, thanks Tom!) Fruity and floral, yet balanced by a fair amount of malt. Somewhat caramely, moderately sweet and sugary, but only mildly bitter and quite chalky in flavor and mouthfeel. Floral, sweet, very fruity nose. Medium-bodied, dry, gritty and chalky on the palate. Cloudy, murky, medium-amber color, topped by half an inch of light-tan head. It settles to a wide ring while leaving a modest amount of patchy lacing. Another of those beers that’s just way too floral for my tastes. Lose some of the floral character and I think this would be a pretty decent beer. Cap: "Don’t be a Pig when you Swig".

Unfortunately the most unique label in my groceres shelves is also the most disappointing. Just not hitting me right. Sorry Magic Hat, go snowboard, and rethink this batch. Maybe a new yeast

Coppery with a white head. Smells spicey and slightly peppery. Taste is malty and sweet. Boring even for an amber ale.

Dark reddish-brown color, beautiful tan head. Floral, woodsy aroma. Taste is an amalgam of things, but there’s something malty sweet, something syrupy, a little of something piney. I don’t know what the hell this is, but it’s good.

Dark copper hue. Sweet nose, cocoa, grain, faint spice. Small off white head is mostly diminishing down to just a ring around the edge of the glass. Palate is moderately sweet, date, cereal, grains, leather, over ripened orange, light to medium body, doughy yeast, faintly fruity, earthy juicy hops through the finish. A quaffable session brew, yes. A bit restrained. This could be great, perhaps if somebody else brewed it.
