Commercial Description:
This amber ale is dosed with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and fresh orange zest. It is well balanced with low hop flavor and nice hint of the spices in the finish. This spiced ale is not overbearing; rather it is smooth and very drinkable.

Had this on draft at the brewpub in Camp Springs. Very nice. The commercial description is accurate. BTW the food was good at the pub and the service was stellar. Recommended.

Draft pint at Appalachian in Harrisburg. Between this and the weizen bock I don’t think I drank 16 ounces total from my two pints. Serves me right for trying something new from the ABC. This one is a filtered reddish brown color with soda pop bubbles sitting on top in a small film. It’s consumed in overdone, highly amplified potpourri spices, just absolutely consumed in them, with, unfortunately, bad notes of cardamom, pumpkin (heavy), nutmeg (faint) and soapy dark fruit. Loose on the palate like every other Appalachain beer, with a heavy mass of mixed, uncoordinated spices that just wreck the entire experience. It finishesdry and pasty, and by the time I’d given up half way through, I thought that a straw might make this thing bearable to drink.

Aroma: was spices, with something that reminds me of smoke and some ginger. poured a dark amber almost heading to brown with a moderate head. Flavor was not good to me. weird combinaition of flavors that are kind of bandaid like to me, with some ginger, and somethign that I would describe as smokey. Reminded me a little of Stone Veritcal Epic 07.07.07. pretty light feeling in the mouth. I wouldn’t drink another one.

So I know it’s way past christmas, but for some reason I felt in the holiday spirit to try this seasonal. Clear amber pour with minimal head. Tons of cinnamon and nutmeg aroma. A bit thin and water aftertaste, but it was very drinkable.

On draft at the Newtown Brewfest with Stegosaurus and The Mad Indian. Pours copper with a white head. Aroma of fruit, spices, and alcohol. The flavor is spices, fruit, and sweet malts.
