473ml can - a 'Gingerbread American Brown Ale', and a 'sip of Christmas'. In February.
This beer pours a sort of murky, dark red-brick highlighted brown colour, with three fingers of puffy, rocky, and mildly bubbly beige head, which leaves some decent Swiss cheese pattern lace around the glass as it lazily sinks out of sight.
It smells of spicy ginger root, bready and doughy caramel malt, vanilla cookies, a faint earthy nuttiness, and very tame leafy, herbal, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, ginger snaps, vanilla extract, oily bar-top nuts, and more well-understated earthy, musty, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-satiating frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and mostly smooth, but for a hint of edgy ginger maybe taking things down a notch or two here. It finishes off-dry, the liquid gingerbread essence in full lingering effect.
Overall - well, they definitely nailed the popular (so I hear) confection punnily alluded to in this one's name. Interesting, but that ship has sailed for a couple months now, and I will openly state that this is just a tick, if it wasn't already patently obvious.
