Slightly hazy golden coloured body with a thin off-white head that fades fast. Aroma of coriander seed, fresh wheat, grass, hay, bunches of yeast and a bit of sweetness from fruit. Light to Medium-bodied; Sharp pungent flavour of alcohol, tart lemons, yeast, grain, coriander seed and a dose of dry wheat. Aftertaste shows some pungency with the malt, yeast, grain, coriander seed and alcohol all coming through, nothing too terribly mild - the flavours are all in the face, perhaps in a good way. Overall, a decent wit with some deep and strong flavours, but still that ’cooling’ flavour from the coriander seed is noticeable. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Spec’s in Dallas, Texas on 11-November-2015 for US$1,46 sampled at home in Washington on 13-June-2016.

Shared 22 oz. bottle. Pours almost black with a tan head that rapidly recedes to a thin film. Taste and aroma are surprisingly enough.....gingerbread. Maybe a bit of roasted malt coming through, but this is all gingerbread. Ginger, nutmeg, clove, and cinnamon. It’s as advertised, but the spices are too heavy for my tastes.
