Draught. Pours a darker shade of gold with not much of a head. The brew is mildly bubbly. There’s a bit of corn in the nose with hay and some cinnamon and nutmeg. It’s pretty thin in the mouth, but not too bad. Some slight hard candy sweetness and honey make up the flavor with cinnamon and other subtle spiced notes detectable in the finish. It’s just so-so for wintertime, a season that generally inspires many superior brews.

Dark reddish amber, like tea with a tiny white head. Faint spice and hop aroma. Sweet piney taste at first, followed by fruit flavors, mostly apple and oranges. Good balance between the sweet, spicy and bitter. Thin, but rich and fun to drink for the holidays.

Draft at the Half Barrel Pub & Cafe in Knoxville. Dark amber in the glass with a small white head that left small lacing rings. The aroma was wheat, honey, and fruity. Spices and orange in the flavor. Light, smooth, and enjoyable.

Served with a candy cane on the side of the glass - The waitress said that the brewer included a box of ’em with the keg for this purpose, so it wasn’t just the whim of the bartender. Kinda festive, actually. Reddish copper, thin white head. Allspice, apple, clove aroma. Very rich mouthfeel. Flavors of plum, cinnamon, figs, and (surprise) peppermint. As it warms, notes of gingerbread and orange pop up. Surprisingly bright, spritzy finish. Fun, unique beer.

Good nose. Fruity and hoppy and delicately balanced. Not sure what fruit it is, because the taste is subtle. Bold flavor, well balanced and light. Appearance is slightly amberish, and mostly clear. Another good beer from my hometown. Almost as good as the pale ale.
