2.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours dark brown/orange with thin head and nice lacing. Very mild aromas of caramel and yeast. Thin on palate but balanced between sweet and bitter. Nearly no finish. This is definitely a lighter beer, but there are some nice notes of caramel, nuts and bread that lend itself to its ’Christmas’ moniker. Not nearly the best holiday beer I’ve ever had, but still a nice flavor profile.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Location: 12 oz bottle from jcos, 11/23/09
Aroma: A relatively bland aroma that includes some notes of caramel, biscuit, spice, and nuts
Appearance: Pours a cloudy dark orange-red (almost brown) color with a fluffy white head
Flavor: Taste is pretty malty, but there isn’t much else going on, its really dull flavor-wise
Palate: The body is light with a fizzy carbonation, but a really thin texture and a somewhat short finish
Overall Impression:
Overall, I was not impressed. This beer just isn’t really that great. I’ll tell you, it just didn’t do it for me, but I guess I’m not alone. The look was by far the best part of this one, but that really isn’t saying too much. Skip it...
