Full Sail Wreck the Halls

plenty of hops, but not dominated by them, nice malt backbone, caramel, slight sweetness, very drinkable, enjoyed very much. On Tap at Holloingsheads

Bottle. Cloudy orange coloured with a white head. Aroma of fruits, hops and pine needles. Sweet fruity flavour of hops and pine needles.

(Bottle 65 cl) Slightly hazy amber golden with a lightly yellowish head. Fresh and citrusy nose. Medium-bodied, some caramel and then a rather raw and unrefined bitterness. Not exactly impressive. 150807

Hazy amber color. The aroma is hoppy and quite resiny, dry but perfumy and nice; also a bit soapy. The body is not too strong, with a sweet caramel flavor corrected by some good hopping. Not bad.

650 ml bottle from Bottle Barn, Santa Rosa. Cloudy orange brown with a fizzy white head. Caramel, spice, and citrus aroma. Tangy caramel and citrus taste with some notable hoppy bitterness. However, the combination of flavors seems out of balance.

Many thanks to Skyview for sharing once again. Cloudy brown body with islands of off-white head floating about. Sweet malty nos with grapefruit hops peaking through. Sweet malty body with hops on the finish.

Mr. Skyview keeps bringing the goods! Copper color with no head. Very light aroma of PNW hops. The taste is largely toasted malt and caramel. Just a bit of dry hoppiness.

Picked up a single 22-oz bottle from Woodstock Wine & Deli in Portland, Oregon. Pours a cloudy orangish-amber brew with a fast dissolving beige head that leaves behind a spotty lacing and ring. Aroma of lemon/citrus zest, caramel malt, some light pine, and some dried apricots. Taste is medium bodied, average carbonation, mild bitter with flavors of citrus peel, light caramel malt and a touch of dark chocolate. Finish is dry lingering bitterness with a warm alcohol zap after the finish.
