Snifter on draft at Ciciero’s in STL. Black pour with a ghost white thick head. Aroma is strong prune beer accented with alcohol of the barrel. The flavor is is similar strong without being all alcohol with plenty of non-sweet yet strong beer. Its not intense but has a good prune and earthy flavor, again accented by alcohol off the barrel. Not thick, medium carbonation, yet felt nicely on the cheeks. Surprisingly, very well done and something I would love to drink again.

Floral, spice and alcohol aroma. Did not expect the alcohol to be present for a 6.5% beer. Pours a very deep orange with off-white head. Lots of malt, but nice floral flavor as well. Some bitterness and spritzy carbonation. Some cloying aspects from the malt.

22oz bomber from Pick’s poured into a shaker. Pours a hazy orange with about 3 fingers of white head. Aroma of grapefruit and orange citrus. Taste is medium bitter and very light sweet. Taste of orange, grapefruit and light caramel. Medium bodied with a creamy texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, its really good. I’m actually very surprised how good it is considering it was only 4 bucks for the bomber. Would totally drink this again.

New name of Witch’s Brew’mmm. Pour is an bright orange with a small white head. Aroma is a mild wheat with an even milder spice. Flavor is a little more spice but nothing stands out and pumpkin is no where to be found. When I saw a new local pumpkin beer was coming out I really wanted to get this but what I found was just a wheat beer with some weak spice thrown in it.

Pour is a bright yellow with a white head. Aroma is corn and grain with nothing in the way of saaz hops. Flavor is about the same. Lots of corn, grain with little or no hops. Nothing like a good pils should be. Probably made for bud lite drinkers to have something while they are at the winery.

Location: 22 oz bottle from Colonial Wine and Spirits, 10/10/11
Aroma: The nose has notes of caramel, some toast, yeast, nuts, and a little bit of spice too
Appearance: Pours a clear caramel-brown color with a thick, foamy -off-white head and heavy lace
Flavor: The taste is mildly sweet, malty, and unfortunately, the finish is a little on the soapy side
Palate: The body is light (leaning toward medium), with a similarly soapy mouthfeel and an average carbonation
Overall Impression: I wasn't overly impressed here. This was not a great beer by any means. It looks nice, it is drinkable enough, and the nose is fine, but that soapiness is what throws it off for me. Otherwise it would have been a fine beer, but that displeasingness has to hurt the score.

Location: 22 oz bottle from Colonial Wine and Spirits, 10/4/11
Aroma: The nose has notes of orange, citrus, corriander, other spices, and yeast
Appearance: It pours a somewhat cloudy golden-orange color with a fizzy white head
Flavor: The taste is rather sweet and fruity, lots of orange, with some more subtle yeast/spice
Palate: The body is light-medium, it has a soft carbonation, with a little tingle, and a decent finish
Overall Impression: This is a fairly sweet and orange example of the style, with a slightly sour, citrusy feel. It is a solid beer, but I thought it could have been a little better. It felt a touch overly sweet to me, but I thought it still worked pretty well. I don't really know how to feel about this one. My opinion changed a few times as I was drinking it, but I settled here.

Bomber from Wine & Cheese in Clayton, MO. Pours clear amber with a foamy 4 finger off-white head. Aroma through the foam is light citrus over mild caramel. Med body. Flavor is somewhat roasted malt with citrus and floral hop. Nailed the style. Definitely more bitter than not.

Bomber from Wine & Cheese in Clayton, MO. Pours hazy orange with a slight, transient white head. Aromas of zest, yeast/spice, kandi and perfume! Maybe that should be floral. Med body, almost. Flavor is orange, arguably coriander, indeterminate grain, and yeast. Floral, kandi and perfume seem to be gone quickly. There is no trace of heat. Deadly lawnmower beer. It has that nagging taste usually found in tripels. Tripels - it’s a love - confused relationship. Anyway this one fits right in as the orange fatigues out somewhat. Nice drink.
