Hazy copper pour with a medium foamy off-white head that diminishes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of malt and spices. Light to medium body with flavors of caramel malt, sweet spice and mild grassy hops. The finish is floral and spicy. Decent overall.

Tap at Pike Pub & Brewery, Seattle - 09/11/12. Clear dark amber with a thin off white head that retains well. Nose compriese malt, spice, dark fruits, toffee. Tastes cinnamon forward, butterscotch, caramel, malty. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, smooth on the palate.

Perfect hazy deep copper and bronze body with a lot of a muddy ruby tint to it and an almost brown glaze with a thinnish, one centimetre tall tan head - great looking though! Aroma of squash, nutmeg, caramel, toffee, raisins, figs, peat and a bit more pumpkin. Full-bodied; Dense, luscious malty flavour with a ton of caramel and other sugars, some light spices like nutmeg and canella and a touch of squash on the finish. Aftertaste is fairly bitter from nuts and malt, but slightly sweet and showing some figs, but there is also a light metallic note. Overall, a fairly nice, albeit not perfect beer for anytime from Thanksgiving to Spring, enjoyed on this final day of ’winter’ (almost 70degrees F outside) at home in Washington on 20-March-2011, purchased as a 65 cL bottle at Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 09-November-2011 for US$5.99.

Bottle. Murky amber color, tint white head. Aroma of very lightly spiced caramel. Taste is mulled caramel. Interesting.

Cinnamon and overripe orange aroma. Cloudy copper, thick sticky yellow head. Orange and nutmeg flavor, tangy. Alcohol not noticeable, no moving parts, only mildy enjoyable. IMVHO,the common pitfall of spiced ales is the overuse of nutmeg. This beer is an example of that.Then again, maybe I’m overly sensitive to nutmeg.

Bomber from Total Wine West Richmond. Pours a hazy dark orange color with a thin creamy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of toasted and toffee malts, citrus, spice, tea. The taste is citrus, toasted malts and a spice bouquet finish. Medium bodied.

Pours hazy dark amber into a Sam glass. Pancake head recedes leaving foam lacing. Nutmeg, cinnamon and sweet citrus aromas. Medium-bodied and dry with sweet pumpkin pie spices that turns to a lasting resin finish.

Draught. Darkish brown with medium head. Much lacing. Tasty. Aroma of caramel and an herb soup. Medium to full flavour, caramel, toast and spice notes. Sweetish flavour, but not too sweet.

Sampled at GCBF '10, pours hazy orange with a small beige head. Aroma and flavour of spicy hops and nutmeg, pretty much. Not one of Pike's better ones.
