pours a gorgeous deep amber with an excellent frothy beige head with thick bubbles that remain and leave a fair trace. It has but a faint aroma merely of sweet citrus and lightly toasted malts. Tastes are of spicy fruit with a piney finish and they somehow seem to clash rather than complement each other. Medium-bodied and moderately carbonated, though a bit oily and fairly warming. Good, enjoyable, but not something I'd go back to often. Grade: B
