Cinnamon aroma and flavor. Malty sweet. The cinnamon is dominant and ruins the balance of this beer. Thin to medium bodied. I don’t like it.

Clear brown beer, light tan head. Semi crisp beer. Smooth malt and what must be ginger? Smooth ginger dominates before fading in to a crisp dry finish with a little hop peeping through.

A reddish color. Little head, gone quickly. Smells like very ripe bananas. Quite flat taste, little burnt malt, slightly sweet. Practically no aftertaste, just a little sweetness. Not very keen to try this again.
