Jun 28, 2008 Ding ding ding... this is awesome. Too bad you can’t get a straight 6 of this, instead you have to buy 3 of the grape pale ale. But this is a great beer.

Feb 26, 2008 12 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquors - Pours a cloudy brown color with a two finger thick light tan head. Nice lacing. Aroma is esters (banana), spice, and light toasted malt. Flavor is much of the same. Medium body. Honestly, this tastes more like a Belgian style ale. Overall, a good tasting beer.

May 19, 2008 Poured a hazy dark amber with a large fluffy/creamy off-white head. Powerful aroma of cinnamon and coriander, apple cider, banana. Flavor is also strong though some parts just feel a bit too prominent. This is really heavy on the banana and clove. Also prevalent are some cinnamon and apple cider. Not especially sweet, and even finishing a tad dry. Body feels decent though I would have liked it a bit fuller or livelier. Although it almost comes across too assertively, I am impressed by the flavor profile here. I appreciate Sam Adams giving kudos to the hard-working members of the homebrew community, but I would like them to come up with more flavorful beers like this one on their own.

Apr 23, 2008 Bottle into Weizen glass. Poured a rich oxblood/mud color with a plentiful tan head that laced thick and marvelous: very satisfying to see. The aroma was very spicy and sweet, full of fruits and warmth. Flavor was much more of th spice, a malty, slight roasty sweetness, and more fruit at the finish. Palate was clean, some lingering sweet, much lingering spice. This was a very warming beer, very flavorful, but maybe just a touch spicy. Maybe not, however. Try this again on a cool evening and I might have a different impression.
