Cloudy brown, no head. Aroma is pretty sweet - caramel and fruity, with notes of apple and pear. The flavor was a bit more dry and crisp, but still plenty of fruit and spice. Tasty stuff. Sampled from a growler at Noogfest 4.

Pours an amber brown color with a light brown head. Aroma is caramel, green apple, toast, fruity, and some clove. Flavor is malty, caramel, apple, sugar, and a bitter spicy hops.
