Hazy ruby pour, with a small off white head. Aroma of figs, nutmeg and pie crust. Thin mouth feel, soft carb. Brown sugar soaked fig pie finish. Low bitterness, semi sweet. One of the better spiced Ales jve ever had. It's subtle and pleasant and not a spice bomb.

Can from the LCBO down in Toronto. Nice to see my cottage local with a couple of labels down here. Pours a decent blonde with minimal head. Taste is primarily into the bittering hops, with a little resin, and a touch of perfume. All over a fairly neutral, slightly sweet malt with notes of honey. Bitterness lingers, not unpleasantly, but it smooth out as you empty the pint. Not bad. Just a side note. RobinV, who's reviews I always find so helpful, clearly is trying something very different from what I purchased. I'm not sure why.
