Pours a cola-like color with small tan head that fades quickly. Full bodied with lots of malt and a good amount of hops. Tastes of molasses, dark bread, currants, apricots. Some pine and citrus from the hops with a hint of leather in the finish. A good winter warmer with a good balance of rich malt and hops.

Pours a clear ruby with some effervescence, gave a one finger off-white head, aroma of caramel, dark fruit and a good amount malt sweetness, faint chocolate in the background, flavor of dark caramel, dark fruit, raisins and some dark bread, red wine in the background, starts with some molasses-brown sugar sweetness but finishes dry with some bitterness, also, some pepper and spice at the finish, has a more then medium mouth feel, an ok drink.

12 oz bottle. Pours deep amber body with small head. The aroma sweet malt. The taste is similar. Nice 7% alcohol.

I’m not a huge pyramid fan, but I quite enjoyed this. Solid malt backbone in flavor with a good touch of hop in a long, dry finish. Not overpowering, but a nice, balanced strong ale.

I am very confused as to all of the positive reviews of Pyramid Snow Cap Ale. Honestly, I thought it was horrible. This is a very nicely colored ale with a deep mohogany color and some fruit notes. However, the flavor was bitter and very unenjoyable.
