Oh My Gourd!

◎ Appearance

Auburn hue with excellent clarity and a light golden sheen that catches the light warmly. The head forms quickly and holds with good adhesion, leaving a fine tracery of lacing down the glass as the beer is consumed. Carbonation appears moderate and even, appropriate to the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with warm spice notes—cinnamon leads, followed by dusty nutmeg and a sharp resinous clove character. Underneath, the pale and Munich malt foundation provides a bread crust and subtle toffee sweetness, while a whisper of orange peel adds brightness without dominating the profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is full and malt-driven, with caramel and toasted grain flavors establishing the base. Mid-palate brings the spice trio into sharp relief: cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove sit prominently atop the sweetness, creating a warming sensation. Bitterness is restrained at 10 IBU, allowing the spice and malt to dominate without harsh edges.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and layered, balancing residual sweetness against the drying spice and a faint herbal clove resin. The aftertaste lingers pleasantly, leaving warmth and a touch of nutty dryness on the palate.
