[1] Review by bigred00 from buffalo, NY, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (7/16/2008 5:47:40 PM)
"It pours a clear bronze color with reddish highlights and a small light tan head. The aroma is malty and heavily spiced with a big shot of orange as well. Likewise the flavor is heavily spiced with nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice and orange zest over sweet doughy and bready malts. There is a hint of hops at the end that fades into the finish along with some of the spiciness. Its light to medium bodied with mild carbonation. Overall it's a very tasty brew but the spices are a bit heavy and out of balance with the rest of beer. Still not bad.

[2] Review by staleyiv from Newnan, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (12/23/2007 4:00:18 PM)
"Aroma is very quaint with some very slight nutmeg and cinnamon that pulse through as well as some malty gingerbread with some sweetness. Appearance is a rich, reddish to amber in color when held to the light with a medium-sized head on top that is off-white in color and diminishes to creamy lacing. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied with spicy complexity as well as malty balance with a palate that is clean and wet-like and well-rounded. Flavor is malty sweet with some faint hoppy bitter with nutmeg, cinnamon, and some ginger coming through with an aftertaste that is full and tasty and has a finish that would go well with Christmas cookies. Overall, not a bad ale here and is pretty tasty and solid, decent stuff here for sure..."

"Pours a clear medium, brownish copper color with very slight head and litte lacing. Aroma is of cinnamon, nutmeg and light oranges are present, as well as malt. Tastes very heavy on the cinnamon and cloves, a touch of oranges and malts.

[4] Review by canandaigua75 from Newfield, NY, USA who has tried this beer once. (1/18/2007 9:21:05 PM)
"The coloring of this brew, a deep brownish-red, was really quite beautiful. There was just a tiny bit of lacing when poured. Not much of a detectable aroma and almost totally devoid of taste, though."

[5] Review by Bitte Ein Bit from Bristol, CT, USA who has tried this beer once. (1/31/2006 9:23:22 AM)
"WTF? Man this beer pours nice but that is all. Nice red color, light tan head, thin lace. Aroma is way overdone. Too much going on for me to signal out anything. Spiced it is but a bit too much. Flavor has a small hint of sweetness up front then the train wreck happens. Again, way too much going on here. Once down the pipes a bitter dry finish was left n the mouth. Not good at all."
