Brilliant garnet red in color with clean but complex malt character. Hops take the stage with dynamic pine and spicy, woody notes supported by light citrus.

Pours a deep amber. Thin head. Not much character to speak off. Not a lot of hops or malt. Not bad but not great.

Great red color. Smell is a little dull, but that's to be expected for a light amber. Taste is incredibly smooth, not overly sweet, and incredibly balanced. Crushable and tasty. Feel is a little thin, feels like they may have watered it down. But overall a great amber

Comes in a clear mahogany color with an off white head. Good retention and film. Streaky lacing left behind.
The aroma is a nice balance of pine needles, sap, spice, warm bready malt, caramel, toffee, and ruby red grapefruit flesh. It smells very Christmas-y and reminds me of Celebration Ale.
The taste is toffee and toasted bread malt, but with lots of hop bitterness; earth and ruby red grapefruit flesh, grapefruit peel, and pine needles. Finishes lightly dry with some lingering piney bitterness.
It feels medium-light, and well carbonated. A bit thin and watery, which is my only complaint with this beer. However, it's crisp and lightly with lingering sticky hop stickiness.
