16 ounce can - $4.99 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia.

Appearance: Pours a lightly hazed, orange-gold body with an inch of near white froth.

Smell: Some toasted bread, a bit of gourd underneath a robust clove aroma, which only grows more acridly fragrant as it warms.

Taste: Gah! Macon's heavy-handed, devil-may-care addition of ground clove is strong enough to easily and thoroughly overtake the underlying beer from beginning to biting, harsh end.

Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-soft carbonation.

Overall: A clear case of over-spicing. I'd additionally gripe about the price, but I suppose someone had to shoulder the cost of an inordinate amount of clove.
