12 FL OZ can
Served in a pint glass

This beer pours burnt orange in color and is topped with an inch of tan head that leaves little lacing.

I smell ginger and cinnamon. It has kind of a sweet smell.

Ginger forward. Cinnamon with some caramel.

Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel

Been a few years since I have had this. I prefer it to the overly spiced winter warmers.

 

 

Very tasty initial cinnamon and spicy taste, but the taste just stops quickly after hitting the palate. Lack of finish and complexity makes it a bit disappointing.

 

12 ounce can, looks like it says canned on 2020/10/05 stamped on the side of the can. Served in a pint glass, the beer pours a somewhat clear orange/amber color with about an inch light tan head. Head retention and lacing are both decent enough. I like the aroma, the brew smells like cinnamon, nutmeg, honey and ginger. For the most part the taste is similar to the aroma, but with the addition of some caramel and bready flavors. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's a bit coating and has a good amount of carbonation. I thought this was a good overall brew, worth picking up if you're into Christmas Ales!

 

My bestie brought a can of this to Nashville whilst there for my son's hockey tournament. It poured a clear amber with thin white head that is not leaving any lace. The scent had holiday spice notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with spice presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall its a decent beer.

 

 

12oz can poured into a tulip. Pours amber with a fluffy khaki head that falls leaving nice retention and lacing. Some minor sediment. The aromas have hints of cinnamon and caramel along with some hints of ginger. Malts are there. The flavors basically follow the nose. Everything is balanced. More hints of cinnamon and ginger along with some nutmeg. More caramel. Lots of grains. It's on the earthy side. Moderate bitterness. Malts do their thing. Alcohol goes unnoticed. Mouthfeel is on the lighter side of medium-bodied with active carbonation. It's sharp, fluffy, smooth and easy to drink.

This is a solid holiday beer. It's more or less what you would expect from most "Christmas Ales" in Ohio with cinnamon usually having the lead role. This one does drink like a real beer and not a "spice bomb". It's enjoyable stuff. I like it.
