A hazy amber beer with a disappearing beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of ginger and cinnamon - and so is the flavor. A nice Christmas beer.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear, amber golden with a dense, off-white head. Fruity and lightly spicy nose. Medium body with fairly sweet fruit, some spices - perhaps a hint of ginger? The finish is dry with some bitterness. Interesting. 290607

Nut brown. Spicy nose, but not overly so. Some malt, but this beer is hop and spice dominated.

From 12 oz bottle. Pours clear orange with an off-white head. Sweet malty and cinnamon spice aroma (I missed the ginger in my glass). Flavour is spiced and slight sweet. Spiced finish.

Bright golden with a thick head. Smooth, complex malts with pine and spice. Very spicy, like a cinnamon stick. Good balance. Rich malts, light spruce. Excellent brew.
