The label is orange and brown, nothing too exciting. I kind of dig the retro 70's look of it. It is brewed with Louisiana pecans. According to the label, most ales with nutty flavors/aromas don't use actual nuts, but the natural oils from the pecans give this ale a light pecan finish and aroma. It is suggested as a pairing to red meats, seafood, and gouda cheese. It is a nut ale and 5% ABV.
Overall average rating: 7.2/10
This beer yields a slightly off-white, somewhat carbonated head, with a clear/translucent red amber color. The aroma gives off wafts of pecan, malt, and caramel, but not too much of any particular scent. There was a nutty sweet taste - pecan, maybe honey-glazed. It seems ridiculously carbonated and thin, but with no hop bite.
Shawn- I am pleasantly surprised with this beer. It gives me a homey feel - delicious, warming, the smell of pecan pie, 7/10.
Angela- It has a very unique flavor. I really enjoy the nuttiness and well-roundedness of the flavors. I liked it much more than the previous two because it had a more harvesty taste, 8/10.
Chris- I think it smells like pecan baklava (Angela- we had just eaten baklava, perhaps it had some influence?). It definitely seems to be what a fall/harvest beer should be because I get more fall-time flavors from this beer, 6.5/10.
