Bottle: Courtesy of pepsican. Gold in color with a pillow-like white head. Cloves, wheat, sweet bread dough and lemon peel in the nose. Medium-light body. Predominant spiced wheat flavor throughout with some mild citrus notes thrown in for good cause.

June 2007 - Bottle courtesy of eaglefan538 with half the label gone, so I had no idea what I was drinking (Johns somethingation Ale). Pour was pale yellow, very little head, no lacing. Wheaty aroma with spices, notably coriander. Flavor was solid wit base with a good level of sweetness and spices. Rich full flavor, solid effort.

Golden color with a thin white head. Smells of spice and pepper with some citrus. The spice is very strong in the mouth. Very thin, and only a little carbonation.

Bottle. Light orange color with thin white head. Orange, flowery aroma with a touch of nutmeg. Flavor is of orange and nicely balanced hops and fresh fruit. Nice flavor. A little light spice on the tongue and a nice clean slightly dry finish.

12 oz bottle (thanks to whoever sent this). Pours an almost clear gold with a massive head that keeps on going and going and....just keeps on! Nose is about the spiciest, most pepperish i have yet inhaled. Taste starts with some sweet bananna, then quickly turns spicy..pepper, ginger, corriander are so strong that little malts/hops are detected. And the excessive carbonation does not help any. Body is thin. Don’t usually like spicy beers to begin with, and the excessive spiciness of this one is a real turn off for me. With that said, it gets points for style!

12 oz. bottle from ketchepillar in an in person trade. Poured into tumbler- poured semi transparent, medium carbonation, head very quickly bubbled away. Aroma of citrus and light wheat, appealing. Hits the mouth with a thin body, alot of spices (coriander and an almost light clove) hit in the middle, finish is a bit lacking. Not bad, not bad at all.

Bottle courtesy of pepsican. Pours orange with a thin white head. Smells of ginger, coriander, traces of wheat, bubblegum. Tastes earthy with some orangey hints. Mouthfeel and finish is watery.
