Deep gold body with a lightly off white head. The massive aroma was sweet with ginger and leather. There was also some nice caramel. The taste was sweet caramel apples with some strogn ginger and cinnamon coming through in the finish. Solid.

Sampled from 12-oz bottle at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in St Paul, MN. Pours a hazy brownish amber brew witha thin off-white head that quickly dissolves to a fine film and just barely any lacing. Aroma of sour malt, yeast, some coriander and earthy herbs. Taste is medium bodied, well carbonated with a dry sour character. Flavors include, sour oranges, yeast, some caramel malt and alcohol. Finish has a slight alcohol warmth and a spiced yeast aftertaste.

Picked up at Beer World of Largo. The 330mL bottle has a date that looks to be March 2005. Is that the best by date? The beer poured out a slightly hazy light copper with off white head. A nice sediment cake was left behind. The aroma is sweet with grapes and apples along with hints of sweet caramel and yeast. The flavor is much like the aroma with fruitiness up front consisting of Concord grape jelly, Gala apples and plums followed by caramel candy. This is a nice mix of flavors. The finish includes hints of yeast and some light fruit tartness.

ChrisFest Pale and perfumed. Fairly dry. An attractive chalky ale - though lacking in range and depth.

On tap at the brewpub. Hazy orange with a medium white head. The aroma is brewmash, caramel, light fruit and light spices. The flavour is fruit, malt, caramel and some spices. Pretty one dimensional.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
A bigger t’Ij beer than many of the others. Has a winter-warming quality. Malty and a tad on the sweet side. Good balance of flavors though. Creamy and soft.
