Tremendous clean hoppy ale with little aftertaste and light on the palate. Pours hazy and unfiltered, nice sized, bubbly head. Smells of cascade hops and x mas trees. Great hoppy taste for an instant, then it bubbles and dances away until the next sip!

Aroma of citrus and pine hop. Lightly reddish amber color with a vigorous light tan head. Very floral start, almost rose. Smoothly sweet malt plays against tart and tangy hop. Very good mouth feel; very smooth. Finish drops off to moderate hop level, but it has that piney character that will not go away.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber color with a nice off-white head on top. Aroma is big with hops. Grapefruit and pine hops are in the aroma with caramel malt coming through in the background. Flavor is much like the aroma. Very similiar to Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale. Overall a decent IPA.

Thanks to Jake for this one. First of all, let me state that this beer is huge in aroma, taste, and palate. i really thought it was an IIPA. The pour is clear deep copper with ruby egdes and a 2-finger off-white head. The aroma is perfect, with big tropical fruit, hops, some caramel malt, and soem wintry spices. The palate is on the hefty side, with flavors of hops,m tropical fruit (tangerine, mango, papaya), some resiny peaches, and some spicy apricots. This beer is outstanding!

Blind Tasting. Clear amber with small head. Big hop aroma....surprising for a tasting of winter warmers. Solid IPA, balanced well...Creamy and pretty thick. Actually wrote, "What makes this a winter??"

Bottle in a blind tasting. Pours a clear bright copper surmounted by an off-white ring of foam. Aroma of pine, toffee, resin, citrus. Medium body with lightish carbonation. Sweet citrus, toffee and pine taste. Pine-bitter finish.

Bottle. Pours a clear medium amber. Light thin tannish head. Big citrus and pine nose. Active carb. Medium (body, carb, flavor) attack; long lingering resin-y c-hop finish.

in bottle. rich amber with off white head. smells like a freshly mowed meadow. Very hoppy, drying the tongue. The greeks at the tasting party felt it was rather bitter. Rich malt taste. a holiday beer for hop lovers. after taste is slightly acidic.
