Served in a Michigan Wolverines pint glass

This beer pours a deep copper hue wit burnt orange highlights. It is topped with an inch of tan head that leaves spotty lacing.

It smells like a standard ale but with pepper aroma. It doesn't come across as hot in the smell. It is more like fresh pepper aroma.

It is a little sweet up front. I get some caramel flavor. The pepper comes through the middle and lingers into the finish. The pepper comes across as a tingling in the back of my mouth and creeping into my throat. It doesn't bring much heat.

Thin bodied with a tingling mouthfeel

This is a decent beer. I would have liked to have had more heat to cut some of the sweetness of the base beer.
