This amber ale is dosed with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and fresh orange zest. It is well balanced with low hop flavor and nice hint of the spices in the finish. This spiced ale is not overbearing; rather it is smooth and very drinkable.

Poured from a brown 22 oz. bottle. Has a dark brown color with some amber hues and a 1/2 inch head. Smell is strong of spices, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon stand out. Taste is also heavily spiced, some malts, flavorful, but maybe a bit over spiced. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a pretty good beer.
