Dec 30, 2008 Bottle, at a Tampa tasting a little while ago, courtesy of one of the Tampa guys, in theory. Orangish amber pour, fizzy lively white head, wet sheets of lacing. Floral notes in the nose, some spicy tang, citrus. Slightly subdued overall. Dry flavors of citrus, wheat, floral essence, dry malty finish. Yum.

Dec 26, 2008 Pours a beautiful clear burgundy red-brown with large amount of froathy bubbly offwhite head. Aroma is a bit dry and faint, sweet, slightly fruity grass smells. Flavor is very sweet cherryish with a tad bit of spice and a bit of dryness in finish. Very light mouthfeel goes down smooth with slight warming aftertaste and finish. Overall, very enjoyable.

Dec 24, 2008 Golden amber body, lightly hazy, with a tall white head. Spicy estery nose, citrus, maraschino cherry. Flavor has a sweet fruity malt flavor up front. More of the maraschino cherry flavor comes through, soft plum, honey and a dry spicy finish. The carbonation is strong, gushing a bit when opening the bottle, but really bringing out the esters. Hops provided ample bitterness so this could sit for a while. Overall excellent beer with a great malt character.

Dec 23, 2008 SH12/27 S6L3F2T4o9: On tap at the Bocktown, nice place! A little darker than pale lager, somewhat orangier. Tea froth head. Smells a tad sweet, heheheh. Makes me want to take a gulp Initial flavor wishes to be strong but it is not. Spicy and mild at the same time. Carbonation is gentle yet enjoyable, not really creamy. Leaves a malty spicy bitterness building in the back of yer throat on the finish. One of the more tolerable spiced beers but the beeriness is still covered by the spices.

Dec 20, 2008 Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark caramel color with a large orange-white head. The aroma was sweet with light touches of fruit, nutmeg, cinnamon and caramel. The flavor was dryish and spicy - notably cinnamon and nutmeg with caramel and light sweet fruits underneath. There was a sugary presence throughout. The finish was short, dry and spicy. Good.
