16oz glass at Beer Revolution.
This beer appears a clear, bright medium copper amber hue, with one skinny finger of weakly foamy, and generally bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent sheet lightning lace around the glass as things quickly abate.
It smells of pungent ginger snaps, bready caramel malt, clove and allspice, and a bit of weedy, leafy hops. The taste is sharp, almost metallic cinnamon, semi-sweet ginger, grainy caramel malt, middling yeast, further indistinct, surely seasonal (but which, I dunno) spices, and a tame earthy bitterness.
The carbonation is average in its plainly frothy bearing, the body a sturdy enough medium weight, and kind of clammy in its otherwise generic smoothness. It finishes mostly dry, the various spices continuing to outperform the lingering malt.
I'm not altogether certain how this differs all that much from this brewery's spiced pumpkin ale. Oh, wait, I do - unlike their claims of hop overdosing their IPA, they actually follow through with it when it comes to the spice here. Good, overall, but a bit too strongly flavoured to warrant any sort of session.
