Draft. Dark amber-mohogony color with a nice off-white head. Allspice, cinnimin, and ginger in the aroma and flavor. Malt backing. People are right in it’s almost a combination of a pumpkin pie and an apple pie. Slightly light body.

Draft. Dark amber/bronze color with alomost no head. Low key, but good somewhat malty, somewhat fruity aroma. Mellow malts and a very earthy hop flavor. Just a bit too carbonated, otherwise a very nice mouthfeel. Well done ESB - one of the better one’s I’ve had.

Mine and Portland Drunk's comments seem to be out of tune with everyone else. We both enjoyed this at OBF 2003 and it seems like the beer was in perfect shape that day. A firm sweet watermelon and wheaty nose plays well into the light watermelon body and very refreshing watermelon finish. It is not dry and grainy like so many fruity wheat beers, but rather extremely well balanced and forthcoming. Portlanddrunk also hit it on the nose with watermelon jolly rancher!

Draft. Golden amber color with a hoppy aroma (grassy/floral). It's somewhat astringent with a low malt backbone and dry finish. An easy drinking hoppy beer.
