Sample at the brewpub. The beer is a slightly hazy reddish-amber color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Sparse strings of lace. Malt, fruit, caramel and hops in the nose. Medium body with flavors of caramel malt, spiced fruit and earthy hops. The finish is malty with a mildly spiced aftertaste. Above average overall.
