Medium to dark brown with a nice head. It is spicy and slightly sweet with an earthy character. A nice sweetness balances the spices. Quite good. johnyvt (157), West Hollywood, California, USA Jan 27, 2005 Dark red/brown pour. Decent brown head with just ok retention. Sweet on the nose with a very sour fruit (lemon, grapefruit, orange) aftertaste. A bit spicy from flavors nutmug and cinnamon, which linger on the tongue. Hairofthedog (416), San Diego, California, USA Dec 9, 2004 This beer poured a rich reddish brown w/ orange highlights and ok head w/ slight lacing. Bananas and hazelnuts dominated the nose, while soury fermented fruit, grapefruit, and banana sweetness appeared in the mouth. I found this beer to be dry on the palate and smooth, it coats the mouth. beerguy101 (3468), Newark, California, USA Dec 5, 2004 Tasted at the 2004 Pizza Port Strong Ale Fest. Medium orange color.
