3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught at the brewpub, 6.2% ABV
Red-amber color, with small creamy head. Light malt aroma, with a hint of spice and banana. Soft and round mouthfeel; strong caramel flavor, with light fruity touch, lingering sweetness, light Belgian yeast presence, but also too strong bitterness in the end. Not bad, but not seducing either.

On tap at The Alibi Room’s 200th beer menu event, split with manuchampions, pours hazy golden orange. Aroma of yeast, apple, pear, orange peel and wood. Flavour is more dominated by christmas spices (nutmeg definitely in ther), dry apple, yeast and wood. Quite decent.

Higher alcohols in the nose evoke bubblegum and perhaps nail polish. Plenty of fruit is also notable. Hazy blonde-brown body is topped by a low tan head that recedes to ring. Flavour follows the aroma with an underlying round malt sweetness and plenty of fruit. Medium light body with moderate carbonation. Sampled at Dix Xmas Extreme in Dec-07.
