Old rating from 2014 - 355ml bottle, pours amber with a white creamy head. Aromas & tastes of orange, citrus, apricot, caramel, grass, pine & malt. Medium body. Slight bitter finish. Strange IPA as it's very on the heavy side. Still enjoyable though

Bottle. Golden, very slightly hazy in color. Head was a quick explosion that disappeared quickly. Aroma is very light and spicy. Taste is slight spice and clove but very strong in the cinnamon area.

Flown over by my sister from the States who purchased it there. Not sure what actual State but I get the impression this is probably available in a fair few of them as I don't think it was Maine she was visiting with her work. Suitably a little spicy for this seasonal styled and named brew. It doesn't really get in the way of a good hoppiness here providing some fruitiness to aroma.

Bottle. Clear orange color with a small head. Aroma was mostly cinnamon. Taste the same. Cinnamon overpowers the rest of the spices to make this one just average.

Bottle. Cloudy, light orange with a medium head. Aroma is a pumpkin spice with strong hints of honey. Taste is sweet up front, almost a honey taste in the middle and a well balanced finish. Just a tad cloying.

Bottle. DeScription is exactly what it is, a gingerbread in a bottle. Dark gold in color with a small head. Aroma and taste is like gingerbread, sweet and spicy.
