Bottle. Golden in color with a small head. Actually smells better than it tastes. Aroma is like a gingerbread cookie. Taste however, like a gingerbread cookie dunked in beer. Not so good.

I don't taste gingerbread really. Can't quite place the flavor.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 4/15/2015. Pours hazy/cloudy deep orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of caramel, brown sugar, toast, biscuit, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bready malt and herbal spice notes; with solid strength. Taste of caramel, brown sugar, toast, biscuit, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Minimal herbal spice bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, toast, biscuit, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Good robustness and complexity of dark/bready malt and herbal spice flavors; with a great malt/spice balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and moderately creamy/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish as expected of 5.2%. Overall this is a nice spiced wheat beer. All around good robustness, balance, and complexity of dark/bready malt and herbal spice flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink. A very straightforward and nicely enjoyable offering.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a hazy yellow with a thin frothy off-white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of gingerbread and citrus. The taste is cinnamon, ginger, citrus. A bit of bread. Thin-medium bodied, mild lingering spice.

Sight aroma of oranges with mold. A hazy beer a little darker than pale. Quite spicy, would say initially, the ginger is underdeveloped compared to all the other spices in there. However, as the session continues a prong of ginger does develop. Not sure if these spices are a perfect companion or just a concoction of spices to make another rum of the mill over spiced holiday brew. Decent co2 saves this from being a boner.
