3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a rich opaque amber color with ruby hues and a rich off white head. Aroma is rich with piney hops and reminds me of an IPA. Taste is unique - malt and spices with some lightly bitter hops and a dry finish. A good addition to this year’s holiday rotation! Also love seeing that several of the recent ratings are from europe!
