Lakefront Holiday Spice Lager Beer

Bottle. Small fizzy iovry head that mostly diminished with very little lacing, fast rising carbonation, hazy, and an amber hue. The nose was sweet, oranges, spicy, some clove, hint of cinammon, and some honey. Ditto for the flavor with a semi-dry finish. Mouhtfeel was tingly with a bit of a warming sensation. Medium in body. Quaffable and not a bad beer, but the combination of flavors just wasn’t a hit with me and left me not wanting this one again.

Bright dark amber colour. The aroma is a little chemically - I know it’s just clove, ginger and orange peel but that’s how it comes off to me. Assertive palate - very heavy on the ginger and clove. Orangey accents. Hardly any balancing malts but what there is is caramelly. Unbalanced, and I’m not really vibing off these flavours.

(Bottle) When I first ordered this beer, I expected it to be like many other spiced beers on the market. I was very wrong. Pours a dark amber color with very little head and a low carbonation level. Rich spices in the flavor include nutmeg, clove and cinnamon, with a plethora of other flavor hints as it warmed. Sweet caramel, vanilla, molasses, and coriander were evident in here as well. Thick, almost oily palate. The balance was decent considering the amount/mix of spices, but seems a little too sweet in the finish. The alcohol is well masked. I still thought this was an exceptional brew, and it’s perhaps one of my favorite spiced beers.

Bottle poured a clear dark copper with a lasting light amber head. Aromas of orange, spice, carmel, toffee and a hint of honey. Palate was medium bodied and smooitrh. Flavors of toffee, spice, carmel and light orange with a smooth lingering spiced finish.

Lagerish mouthfeel with surprisngly sourness within a lager. It works, with orange and spices following. Imagine a toned down cantillon.Some beige transparency and quality aromas.
