Comes out of the tap a clear, darkish amber with an average head. Aroma is strong and spicy as well as somewhat malty; spice is mainly cinnamon and cloves. Flavor is fairly strong and malty, and the spicy component is mainly cloves and cinnamon. There is also just a hint of hops. Texture is fairly smooth and tingly, and nips at the tongue.

Bottle from State Line. Pours hazy deep copper with off-whute head. Nose is caramel malt, nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom. Tastes pumpkin spicy, with malt and more late nutmeg notes. Decent overall.

Piney, sprucey, and friggin’ sweet cinnamon aroma! I can picture Burl Ives as a snowman. Clear honey gold. Astringent, only a bit of honey remains, mostly broken. The spices are chaotic and lost. Probably not supposed to be consumed in June.

Brewed in the USA..... Courtesy of AFI96, thanks Waylo !! Pours a hazy golden color with a small foamy white head. Aroma of cinnamon sticks, ginger and malts. Taste of spices and ginger. Mouthfeel is thin in body and the finish is slightly dry. Not bad,but on the watery side !!!

Pours cloudy amber, some sediment, topped by a disappearing head. Smells of cinnamon, ginger, and a hint of sour peach. Smelling it got me excited to drink but the flavor just isn’t there. Light spices and a touch of maltiness. Smooth palate, medium-low carbonation. If the flavor matched the smell it would have been decent but it was a big let down.

Medium golden pour with a quickly fading head. Nice spiced aroma, but unfortunately I cannot differentiate this one. Very light body flavor with sweet honey flavors that dominate. A quick fading spiced flavor.

THOUGHTS: Nice beer. Great spiced beer. The spices enhanced, but didn’t overpower the beer. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a slightly hazy, orangey copper with a small to average, off-white head that mostly diminished and left fair to good lacing. The aroma was coriander, ginger, nutmeg, slight cinnamon, and both orange peel and orange. The initial flavor was sweet and sour; while the finish was sweet and spicy with an average duration. It was nice but slightly watery. There was orange peel, ginger, cinnamon, slight caramel, orange and maybe some coriander. The medium body was lightly syrupy then a little dry with lightly fizzy carbonation and a dry and slightly chalky if anything finish.
