500 mL bottle. Chilled. Red amber ale. White head. Ginger and cinnamon or cloves aromas. Bitter ginger taste with some spices. There’s a sourness to this beer for sure. Ginger and cinnamon flavors keep lasting... not really my style

Jun 18, 2007 <i>Bottle shared with and courtesy of HogTownHarry.</i> Pours a clear deep ruby with an average size off-white head -- looks rather nice. Aroma: Whoa Nelly, this is potent stuff! I like it though, smells kind of like gingerbread cookies. Lots of ginger along with cloves, some other spices, yeast and a bit of sourness in the background. Flavour’s the same, lots of ginger and spices but it’s a little more subtle then the aroma, it’s also maltier and has that sourness again -- I’d rather smell this then drink it. This is very interesting but I couldn’t drink a whole bottle.

Jun 16, 2007 <b>Bottle (500ml)</b>. <i>Shared with blankboy, my bottle via trade with Viper666</i>. Clear bright deep refractive ruby with an average head - lovely colour. BAM! - the aroma hit me ’twixt the peeper, massively yeasty and spicy - cloves, other pungent spices - it smells like a gingerbread house with added sour cherry; massively sweet and yeasty with sour edges. Taste - sour cherries, butcher paper, pungent ginger and cloves - so pungent it finishes bitter despite the huge sweetness. Thick, flat, spice/acid mouthfeel, with a lingering almost herbal gingery aftertaste. Wow, this is just packed with spice, way over the top, too much to be "good" - if you love ginger (I don’t) you might at least find it interesting.
