Huge fan of the brewery, and I've been hearing about this beer for a while so I was very excited to give it a try.
Brownish red pour with decent head. Smells of hop, I'd call it a 'wet hop' smell. Not sure why but that's what it felt like to me.
It's a sweet spiced hopy taste. The flavors are nice but not very well balanced. Maybe it was the hype but I was a tad disappointed. Still a decent beer, but not all I expected I guess. Feels like a spicier brown ale to me, nothing special in my book.
