Pours a fizzy, clear dark gold, with a soapy, lasting head - nose of honey, apples, spice, yeast - medium-bodied, with a fairly creamy mouthfeel - the flavor is moderately hoppy, with a sweetened herbal tea quality to it - a bit of overripe apple and honey - a little bit of acidity late, with a finish of slightly warming spicy character, a bit of peppery hops - this is a fresh bottle, so I imagine a lot of these characteristics fade pretty fast - good fresh, though.

Aroma is malty with an undertone of spice - mainly cloves - and a hint of yeast. It pours a light coppery golden-red with a thick off-white head. Lively, malty flavor has a strong undertone of spice and hints of yeast, caramel and honey. Texture is crisp and syrupy smooth.

A clear amber colored beer, with thick and little beige head. The aroma of caramel malts with lot of fresh fruits. Some bread and yeast. The taste of some hops, a little bitter. It is a little dry and very fruity with flowers. Some nuty in the back. The aftertaste is a little bitter for quit a while.

found this at the liquor store on post Clear amber with a thin head. Mild sweet malt notes in both aroma and flavour. Fairly well balanced, but was not impressed with the finish. Really had two stages: 1. mild bitterness 2. failry metallic-like on the back of the teeth which was unpleasant. Strange...not impressed
