The aroma just flows to the nose as soon as the beer is poured. The aroam is sweet and malty with citrusy notes, a touch of spice and a slight yeastiness. The flavor is slightly sweet, citrusy and malty with a slight spiciness and a very slight touch of yeast. A very tastey brew. Medium to full bodied, tingly from the carbonation yet smooth and slightly warming. IPFreely (1470), Lewiston, New York, USA

Even though I only had a few centilitres of this to sample, I did take my time and make it a one hour (or so) sampling! kyzr (1123), Belgrade, Montana, USA
