Commercial Description:
This hoppy holiday ale is aggressive yet sublime, assertive yet mellow, complex yet drinkable, and has a lot of hops in it!

On tap at the Swiss in Tacoma. Yes, it’s a hoppy winter-style IPA. Very similar to Sierra Nevada Celebration, which is also not quite to my liking.

22 oz bomber. Lots of sediment in the bottom of the bottle. Pours a hazy, rosy red-orange. Lots of big bubbles and a solid head that settles into some chunky lace. Fairly heavy hop aroma but not particularly piercing. Smells a bit like honey and stale chocolate which I was not expecting. For an IPA there is some pretty rich malt flavors, graham cracker like. The idea of IPAs as winter seasonals usually doesn’t make sense to me (I’m from Minnesota) but because of the rich malt characteristics I thought this was a good representation of a winter IPA seasonal.

2006 edition. A very hazy dark amber ale with a thick off white head. A nice hoppy aroma, pinhey and sweet honey aroma. In mouth, a good biscuitty malt, pinhey hops, sweet finish, nutty. Medium bodied. Bought at Booze Bros, Reno, August 2007.

Pours copper with an off white head. Smells of citrus and very fruity. Layered citrussy flavor and mouthfeel with a bitter peppery finish.

Finally some relief from all those too sweet big abv holiday beers. Picked up a growler at the brewery and have enjoyed two pints thus far. Aroma is suitably hoppy and the taste is big grapefruit and slight orange pineapple hops with a suitable amount of malts for a Northwest IPA. One finger head which leaves a ring of off white bubbles all the way down. Lacing is good but lessens about the half way mark. Mouthfeel is good with just right carbonation. Fairly sessionable beer at 6.7% abv. Plenty bitter for hopheads.

On tap at stone. I didnt like it very much. Piney hops, caramel, citrus, grapefruit. But its kind of hollow and has this funky wet sock flavor. Meh... it’s alright.

Brigh orange with medium white head. Aroma of coriander, flavor of coriander, lime, and orange. Very bitter throughout, most prominent in the long finish. Very nice.
