A 12 oz bottle with a notch system for freshness. The beer poured a nice copper body with a creamy head. smells of citrus and sweet malt. Taste of sweet malt but not too much, good balance. Carbonation and lacing are perfect. Six pack!

From the winter sampler served in a Celebrator Bock glass…bubbly, somewhat creamy pencil-point thin white head on a lively amber body, resembling a dunkel…a flattening malt with hints of wheat and clove…fluctuates in taste between an unsweetened tea and a heavier lager…subtle palate early with a zest as it finishes; esters produce an indistinct yet perceptible fruity finish …rather smooth overall…doesn’t rival the Boston lager in character or immediacy, but as a lager in a winter mix, appropriate…

Decent Lager. Has notes of cinamon. Easy to drink, with a nice finish. First tried it in the variety pack.

Bottle: Not a bad beer. Aroma of malt and spices. Probably the best choice at Outback (where I had the beer).

Pours amber red with moderate white head. Some malt aroma. Taste is like that of a bad macro with added malt. Easy to drink, but not overly enjoyable.

Tap. Reddish pour with little lacing. Heavy malt aroma. Not over the top with ginger and molasses. Great middle of the road Season offering that is readily available.

On tap at local pub. Poured dark amber color with small head. A sweet malt aroma. Flavor is sweet like a jolly rancher and Halls cough drop. Silky mouthfeel and very easy to drink. Nice brew and good abv.
