| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 31, 2008 Amber beer, thin white head. Aroma is quite spicy.

A bit of brown sugar and a soft honeyed character as well. Hops are quite prominent along with a nice kick of pine and spice. Another pretty solid hoppy beer from Southern Tier. ľ (5006), Boulder, Colorado, USA
| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Mar 20, 2009 Nose is unnecessarily rich and syrupy coriander, ginger and juniper berries. This is a gin-heavy alcoholic mess of a beer. I seriously start to doubt the palate and sanity of the ratebeer populace when I taste something so unbelievably disgusting and revolting such as this beer but see ratings so ridiculously high. Intensely cloying, disgustingly sweet throughout - ginger, juniper/gin, perfume, toxic spinach... this beer is a fucking mess.
