Evil Genius Naughty or Nice? This spiced winter ale (5.7% ABV)opens with an aroma of chamomile. Flavor is dominated by spice most notably cinnamon, with more than a hint of all-spice and clove. Thereis a half hearted attempt to balance things with some lightly tart, citrus but it's too little too late. Dry finish with more spice. As spiced ales go it's decent but nothing more. Overall rating:- Average |
Sixpoint Global Warmer First sip of this 7% ABV American Red Ale brings juicy citrus notes - think grapefruit and tangerine. Lively tropical fruits, apricots and pineapple more to the fore by mid-sip. Sweet caramel. toasted grain, and malt are steading influences throughout. All in all, a nicely hopped, drinkable, and most satisfying brew. Most welcome is the lack of the usual spices used far to often in winter warmers. This beer can stand on it's on. Well done! Overall Rating - Outstanding |
Bronx Rye Pale Ale The beer opens with a herbal sharpness and nuttty smells. The favor is dominated by caramel malts which are nicely kept in check by spicy flavors from the rye. Ever present in the background are notes of citrus hops, pine, grapefruit, and toasted malts. If you like rye beers you'll enjoy this at 6.3%ABV. Overall Rating: Good |
