(bottle, possibly old). Cloudy amber color. Huge off white head, which diminished after time. Aroma and flavor of light malt, hop, and mint. Avg duration. Dry finish. Slick texture. Moderate carbonation. Good lacing.

Bottle (12). Quite foamy, a little on the hoppy side. Taste seemed a little odd and unbalanced as I started to drink, but evened out as I finished. Very spicy. Would buy again, but wouldn’t go out of my way to find it.

Bottle thanks to BeerVirgin72. Thank god I opened this chilled, as it was a slow gusher, and first pour was all foam... Head continued to rise for several minutes just sitting in my glass...Weird. As said, the head was huge, and creamy, just slightly off-white. Good lacing. Underneath is a hazy but effervescent body that is a deep orange hue. Aroma is sweet with berries, hops and cinnamon. Taste is odd and metallic with some fruit and harsh grainy malt. Not balanced. Notes of ginger that burn a little. Very fizzy and dry.

12oz bottle. Pours medium amber with no head. Aroma is spicy cinnamon and sweetness. Flavor consists of cinnamon and some hop. Weak finish.

Pours a dark amber in color. Nice carbonation. Has aromas of Cinnamon and nutmeg. Full bodied, nice balanced flavor with a taste of spices in the finish. JB, thanks for bringing this back from one of your trips.
