My own version of a sweet brown ale. Not bad, but not exactly what I was aiming for either. Zum Whol!

Not sure why they would release a hefe now, but lucky for them I don't really correlate beer to seasons. Another shot of it after the head settled and more beer added. http://www.flickr.com/photos/93961624@N06/11018972366 http://www.flickr.com/photos/93961624@N06/11019101683
They released this Hef back in May or June.

There's certainly some holiday type spices there, but they're quite subdued by the hop character I am picking up. Could be just me, though I sincerely hope it's not my palate going south. http://www.flickr.com/photos/93961624@N06/11019501023

That's because you live in Rhode Island.
Nuke, I think it's a red ale. I get more hoppy flavor and bitterness than I do spice flavor or aroma. I still have two or three more downstairs.
An after dinner beer. Very tasty. Cheers

lucky sob!cody6173 said:I somehow ended up with a half case... Not complaining
I can't have more then 1 at a time. A good change of pace from the winter Warmers once in a while.ballsy said:I can't stomach this one for some reason....I've always been more salty than sweet in general though...
I ask for forgiveness. And submit this..jak1010 said:That's a crème brulé beer and yet, I don't see a Wilford Brimly reference.
