Flat-looking golden amber. Slightly spicy nose with bubblegum notes. A little light on the body with slight spiciness. OK beer, but without the body it never quite comes together.

Draught @ Volo, served in small tulip glass. Had ordered something else, so this was a surprise. Deep dark amber, lovely rich jewel tone, great lacing. Diacetyl unfortunately present in nose. Sour cherry aroma reminiscent of some quads. Hardly any carbonation. Interesting flavors: bready, mild, alcohol not detectable. Lots of apple and cinnamon. Delicately spiced, not like pie. A solid spice beer, good quality.

Tap at Volo, aug 2007. Initial impression a bit jangly with impressions of almost fake cherry flavor and spices. It smoothes and integrates into something I quite enjoy. Sour fruit, hints chocolate. Not a repeat pint for me though I appreciate such a beer in our market.

[1316-20080420] Tap. Mild aroma of chopped banana and mild grainy grassy field. Slightly hazy, orange amber body with a medium-lasting foamy almond head. Flavour is a little spicy citrus and mostly blended grainy malt and heavy yeast. Medium body is a little grainy. Interesting, fairly boozy. (6/4/7/3/14) 3.4
(@ Volo; Toronto, ON)

[1378B-20080523] Tap. Grainy fruit aroma, not much there. Clear, dark amber brown body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head. Fruity cranberry flavour. Medium body has a tangy aftertaste. Average. (5/4/6/3/14) 3.2
(@ C’est What; Toronto, ON)

Spices gingery scent, hazy redish pour. Very spicy taste. An overpowering mix of flavours. Very odd beer.
