3.5/5 rDev -2.2%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
A: Poured a clear, bright, and crisp golden peach color with orange hues. A one finger cream-beige colored head sits atop that was bubbly and lasted for several minutes. Visible carbonation was faint while a nice spiderweb lacing was left behind.
S: fruity with fresh oranges and apples with a perfumy hopping.
T: a light lemon breadiness and orange flavor opens things up. There was a spiciness of apples and a pretty good floral hopping. Some alcohol detection with a slight orange sourness was also detected. The flavor was moderatly good, though maybe not so much per style. A nice malting though not a lot of spices. Some citrusy grapefruit, pale grains, with a touch of cinnamon linger about but not enough to make a difference overall.
M: light, very smooth with a extremely soft carbonation. An slightly above average xmas drink.
D: Easy to put down especially at 6.0% which drinks quite well though was only moderatly exciting.

This one pours a hazy dark golden to pale amber color. The head is two fingers of dense, fluffy, tan foam. The lace is thick and sticky.
The smell is a floral, grapefruit, malty and light spicy hops.
The taste is somewhat more subdued than I was expecting. Malt was at the forefront, nicely balanced with a slight hoppy bitterness.
Medium bodied with a creamy mouthfeel.
Yes, very drinkable. I wish I had gotten more.
