Pours with a two-finger very light tan head that fades slowly leaving some lace. Nice clear amber color. Medium bodied. Malty nose. Light-medium carbonation. Flavor is malty, caramel, slight dryness at finish. No hint of seaweed. $2.50 for a 12oz clear bottle from Capitol Convenience Concord, NH.

Bottle. 2006.2007 version. Pours light copper with a foamy white head that left great lacing. Nose of a variety of spices,and floral hops. Mouthfeel brisk. Flavor is malty and hoppy with spice and something I can not identify Overall a bit sweet,. but very driinkable and a nice holiday beer.

Smells kinda cardboardy and a little cidery? Pretty light brown color. Decent head that lasts.Grainy,slightly oxydized flavors.Thin body. Leaves a funny,grainy aftertaste.Seems to me this used to be a better beer several years back.Maybe not?

An enjoyable beer that is perfect for the cold winter months. First, an impressive pour with a nice off-white head and an incredibly clear bronze color. Aroma was fairly weak, but what was there was pleasant caramel and maltiness notes. Mouthfeel was full and round. Flavors were nicely balanced with malts and hops and a warming spiciness to it to warm up the body, not overpowering on either end. As it warmed up, I’m afraid a bit of the diacytl came out to play which was a bit off-putting. Over all a nice winter beer and I look forward to their next winter offering.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy amber with a decent head. The taste is mostly a sweet malt, some spices, and some hops. Really thin and smooth. Not great, but decent.
