Bottle, Canada. This is amber and bright. The aroma is perfumey with maybe some spice. Sweet, cinnamon on the palate. Thin, no real malt character. Again perfume. Out of the bottle, it’s just terrible. 2-2-3-1-5 = 1.3

Had this one in Orkney, at the brewery. Brownish-amber. Not much head. Spicy aroma is vaguely gingery with a bit if cinnamon. It has a fairly full body for the alcohol level, and the palate is light, sweetish and approachable, with ginger as the main characteristic. The finish has some slightly biscuity amber malts as well. Decent spiced ale. 6-3-6-3-14 = 3.2
