RATING

A thin, off-white head adorns this bright, tawny brew, unleashing exquisite aromas of cedar, cherry and cinnamon. Enigma opens with cinnamon spice and apple sweetness on the tongue, autumnal notes that accent the tart cherry pie flavors as the beer washes back. Eventually, the sweet-and-sour pie essence bows to a spicy, acidic bite that grips the back of the mouth, though vanilla and cherry notes that linger long past the swallow keep the memory of dessert alive.
