Nice colour but not much head. Smells like a lager with some spices. Taste, though, is delightful. Blond with plenty of spice. With little head there is a suprizing sparkle in the mouth. Medium body. Very drinkable.

Canned on 10/24/19. 12oz can poured into a tulip. Pours golden with nice clarity and bubbles racing upwards; small white head that fades leaving solid retention and nice lacing. The aromas have spices along with some sweet orange. Cinnamon and ginger are there. Malts are there. The flavors are bold. The spices are bold. More cinnamon and ginger. More hints of orange. Some spruce tips. Some clove. Some black pepper in the mix. It's slightly spicy. Solid bitterness. The lactose is subtle. Malts do their thing without completely dominating. Finishes clean and dry. Alcohol goes unnoticed. Mouthfeel is on the lighter side of medium-bodied with active carbonation. It's sharp, crisp, smooth and easy to drink.

This is a pretty solid brew. The spices are bold and almost overwhelming at first, but it ultimately becomes more balanced the more you get into it. It's enjoyable stuff and fitting for the holiday season. Not bad at all. I like it.
