Jul 12, 2004 Clear dark amber body, short-lived off-white head. The aroma has light grapefruit rind, grape vine stem and vanilla cake. Intense american hops in the flavor - grapefruit tempered by sweet grassiness. Additionally, there’s cinnamon stick, cookie dough and bitter grapefruit in the finish. A pretty typcal PNW IPA, not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course.

Jun 8, 2004 Bottle. Was a little dissapointed. Spicy christmas pudding, raisiny, sort of flavour, plus a load of hops at the end, sweet and christmasy, perhaps a little too sweet and sticky.

Jun 5, 2004 Cherry color and off-white head. Nice lace. Spicy hops married to a cinnamon and berry aroma. Has elements of an English Strong Ale. Flavor is acidic, fruity, and mildly woody. Makes me think of mistletoe berries so I guess it’s festive. May be a little peaked.

Jun 5, 2004 Not sure if this tasted like this originally or not but I liked it anyway. Poured a dark amber with a medium off white head. Sweet caramel malt aroma. Mild hops and lightly spicy with cinnamon. The flavor did throw me off as this seems like a Christmas type ale. Moderate hops and sourness in the finish. A good beer.

22 oz bomber-thanks again to mromero548 for brining this one down from Denver. Pours a deep crimson red almost cherry appearance. aroma of toasty malts and piney hops-pretty complex aroma-some spices. The flavors were spicy and sour to me. I dont know if this was infected or what, but the flavors were just off to me.

Apr 6, 2004 Draught: dark golden body with a sticky head. Sugary caramel palate with some nice pine. I don't know why I wanted this to be spicy, I am just strange. . . the finish is long and dry and while I like this one, I can't help but think that there was something missing. . .

Mar 20, 2004 This brew pours iwth a deep amber body topped by a thick head with a good amount of lacing. The aroma is slighlty sweet yet slightly bitter with a slight citrusy note and a peachy, mango note. The flavor is mostly bitter but slightly sweet with a touch of citrus, a little piney note, as well as, peach and mango notes. Medium bodied and smooth with a slight dryness.
