Dec 28, 2009 Luminous salmon-amber brew with a fluffy off-white head and highly carbonated body. Nose of coriander, sweet melanoidin malt, and muted hops. Touches of bubblegum. Flavor profile is an awkward, bland melding of coriander, nutmeg and malt along with tannic bitterness and an off-key grainy sourness.

Dec 25, 2009 Pleasant, floral aroma. Amber-brass pour. The label is nothing special. Malty, marzen-like flavor. Not too spicy, but some interesting flavor notes along the palate - lemon, apple, a hint of nutmeg. Good.
