witchal - July 26, 2012Pours a orange gold with a huge off white head. Malt and cider nose with pepper hints. Mellow & spicy(?) taste of yeast, apples, cloves. Stayed carbonated and heady throughout the drink. Dry.
bugs318 - June 18, 2012it was good, if well overhyped for me personally! It has citrusy and bready aromas, but they are dominated by the yeasty sweatiness. It is lightly cloudy and spotty on the surface, while light amber in colour with a fine white head that boasts excellent lace and retention. A hoppy pine quality not present on the nose comes through on the tongue, as does some yeasty spice. It is bold and very, very dry nearly to the point of astringency, yet in an odd way: it is the combination of sweaty yeast and piney hops that dries as if merging the Belgian and American Pale Ale styles, but is closer to what could be called a Belgian/India Pale Ale possibly. It has a medium body and a low carbonation that, if higher, could suit the dryness a bit better. Grade: B-

fish1950@comcast.net - May 31, 2012Enjoyed thoroughly at the BO outside of Cooperstown. Smooth, balanced, delicious spice. One of the best.
