Weston Pub Warmer Winter Ale

On tap at the 2007 Parkville Microbrew Festival. Pours cloudy amber with a medium off white head. Has a very nice ginger spice aroma. A strong sweetness to the flavor helps a bit to balance an otherwise one-dimensional spice beer. If this is a 3.7, then Kitschy has spice on the brain.

on tap at Parkville Microfest, under the name Spice Beer. A wonderful beer, my favorite of the festival!! A classic winter spice beer, amber in color, creamy thick cream-colored head. Aroma has nutmeg and cinnamon. Taste is reminiscent of a fine pumpkin pie. My favorite beer of the winter... discovered in April

On tap at O’Malley’s pub. I drank this while enjoying a great show by the Kelihans. The body was medium copper with a slightly off white head. The aroma was nutmeg with some caramel and banana. The taste had notes of ginger bread with some light funky pear cores. There was a spicy finish. This could have used some more body.

Tap at Weston Brewing restaurant above O’Malleys in Weston. See my review for O’Malley’s Cream Ale for the overall experience, which is excellent. Not sure if I got a good one or not but this smelled and tasted like Vick’s Vapo Rub. I am unsure what they were trying to achieve with this one, but if they hit the mark, it’s not my type of beer.
