Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

On tap Maine Brewers Fest 2002: Aroma is of strong cinnamon. A stick of Big Red gum doesnt smell as strong as this. Clear yellow color, very watery and tastes of cinnamon. A few people that I talked to liked this, but this is the worst beer that Ive had in a while. Its weak and had no character besides the cinnamon overdose.
UPDATED: OCT 9, 2003 Draught: This beer is a somewhat golden color. It had a bit of a head on it, but it went down quickly. Aroma is very similar to pumpkin pie. The same spices are definitely there. However, the pumpkin is not overpowering. A fairly smooth and clean taste.
Its a good thing I like cinnamon. If you dont, stay away from this brew. Has a nice amber color to it, with a small head. Not great, but good.
