On tap at the brewpub. Pours with a hazy orange to red body with a scan off-white head. Aromas are all spice showcasing ginger and allspice. Very much a mulling spice feel. Bready and caramel malt notes, light esters (compared to their other beers). A bit sharp. Flavors are of mulling spices, cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar. Bitter (spice bitterness), a touch metallic. Bready malt. Lively bubbles, thin and somewhat dry.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours with a muddy orange hued body with a white head. Aromas are very fruity and estery (disturbingly so), pine, citrus and grapefruit rind hop character. Flavors are a bit husky, hoppy, cheap perfume floral character. Estery, fruity, sticky and resiny. Medium to lively bubbles, oddly sticky and slightly tannic/astringent.

Sample at the brewpub, served with an orange. This brew pours a hazy dark amber color with a thin white head that recedes to an outer ring quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of ripe fruit and yeast. Light body with flavors of sweet fruit, yeast, wheat and a bit of malt. The finish is fruity with a short spice aftertaste. Barely average overall.

Medium, semi-dry body with flavors of roasted coffee, sweet malt and nuts. The finish is mildly bitter coffee with a sweet malt aftertaste. Decent overall.

Sample at the brewpub. Pours a murky apple cider color with a thin white head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Patches and spots of lacing. Hoppy aroma that has pine and citrus notes. Some malt in the nose too. Medium body with a moderately bitter piney hops character offset by some sweet malt. The finish is hoppy with a short bitter aftertaste. Decent IPA overall.
