330ml bottle. Other than 'seasonal brew', this beer's name is the only English on the label, beyond the generic 'we brew this way' translation.
This beer pours a cloudy, medium bronzed amber colour, with two fat fingers of puffy, rocky, and bubbly eggshell white head, which leaves some decent spectral webbed lace around the glass as it slowly ebbs away.
It smells of semi-sweet bready caramel malt, muddled orange, white grapefruit, and lemon citrus rind, a growing rye grain spiciness, and further earthy, leafy, and somewhat perfumed hops. The taste is more doughy, bready caramel malt, weirdly sugary citrus and bruised drupe orchard fruit, additional toasted rye cracker, a touch of edgy yeast, and sidling leafy, piney, and floral hops.
The bubbles are damned near invisible to the countermeasures of my probing palate, the body a sturdy middleweight, and mostly smooth, those Yankee Doodle Dandy hops cutting short their effect...just...about...now! It finishes on the sweet side for an IPA, the hops all there, surely, but acquiescing to their fruity, rather than typically bitter nature.
Well, this brewer's nightmare is one customer's gentle nightcap, as it were, after the opening act of decorating the damned Christmas tree. The rye is evident enough, and not the overbearing mess that you might imagine, given the name. Anyways, easy to drink, barely a sense of the elevated ABV is noticeable, and hey, maybe I now have the motivation to top off that dead pagan pine tree in the living room.
