Bottle at Dilly Deli. Pours clear reddish/copper with a moderate frothy off-white head that diminished slowly with good lacing. Medium roasted sweet malty and citrus aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of short duration. My expectations where not met.

Poured a clear, red amber color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel, rye, citrus, toast, floral hops, and light fruit. Taste of more rye, toasted malts, some caramel, and citrus fruits, with a medium bitterness in the finish.

Thanks to Josh for this one. Pours a translucent ruby amber with a medium creamy/bubbly off white head. Aroma of a fresh cut pumpkin (I know it’s odd but that is the first thing I smelled), floral notes, citrus, a bit of rye and mixed fruits...maybe some cherry. Flavor of rye, a bit earthy, some caramel, fruity notes, malty sweetness, nuts and a touch of orange.
