On tap at the Bocktown, Monaca. Smell is a little spicy as with most domestic holiday beers. Look is pleasantly dark. Keeping in mind, I’m not one for spiced beers, but there it was! First taste is spiced fer sure, if you are expecting a spiced beer, you got it. However, its not over the top as with many spiced beers. There is enough in there to let you know its the holiday but not enough to make you turn it down. I kinda got used to it after a while. Grows on yah. Its fairly easy to see the backbone beer behind this one. Finish is of course medium spice, but that covers any mode of bitternesss, unlike many other spiced holiday brews.

Sampled on draft at Hou Thou this beer poured a cloudy peach color with a small foamy white head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was pepper, lemon and a bit of bread and must. The flavor was pepper, lemon and cracker with a bitter, tart and astringent presence and an undertone of dust. Long bitter tart and astringent lemon and pepper finish. Medium body. Meh.

Bottle. Pours hazy golden, small fizzy white head, dissipates very quickly leaving little lacing. Aroma is corn syrup, grain, extracts. Flavor is much the same, corny, medium sweet, a bit of grassy bitterness. Tastes better than it smells. Light body, low carbonation.
