A beer worth celebrating! Full sail always makes a qualty brew, but this one stands out a master piece. I love the spicy, fruity flavor created by the hops, malt sweetness with a strong session beer strenght, Merry Christmas!

WOW oh wow what a beer! Even before i poured this brew from the bottle the head was rising up over the top! and it had not been shaken. This is a seasonal beer I think well it says "Reserve 2002" on the label. The appearance of the beer is truelly great..hazelnut brown with just the righ murkiness..nice one 2 finger head ..that dissapated quick to form a rich lace down the glass..I oove the look of this beer. Smell what can i say if you love hops ( and I do) the smell is dreamy..very strong..a bit of dark chocolate and liquorice too. Taste is really quite bitter HOORAY but not so bad that it masks all the malt.. Lovelly in the mouth, just the correct carbonation Overall an extremelly drinkable IPA..strong though I recommend this one. Hope Reserve 2003 is a s good : )

This is my favorite holiday brew I can remember. Keep the hops commin’ and a bit bitter, like any good IPA should be.

A great holiday beer with a massive amount of hops. This is like a winter beer mixed with a great double IPA. A dark heavy body with a full tan like head and a hop aroma that has the essence of cascade, crystal, and centennial hops. A great choice for the season.

Copper, little head. Intense citric hop nose, hint of bready malt underneath. Bitter, piney, grapefruity hops dominate, just atouch of sweet malt to balance things. Dry, bitter finish. Viva la HopHead.

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!

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 is like smelling a handful of fresh hops. Color is a very hazy orange with good carbonation and a thin head. Taste is super hoppy and mildly bitter. Starting with a full body it goes down smooth with a tiny fuzziness. Finish starts with a little malt sweet taste that is overtaken by a bold hoppy/citrus and mild bitterness. In the after taste the citrus peaks and the bitters lingers on. This is a fabulous IPA. Its well balanced, super hoppy and although there is a lot of citrus it never overpowers the brew. One of the IPA’s I have ever had.
