3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20550 mL bottle of 2012-2013 vintage. Pours a clear amber color with a medium beige head with a fair amount of retention and lacing. Aroma is pretty mild and almost non-existent--some spices and hops come through. The beer is pretty sweet upfront; detected some caramel malts and some spicy. The finish has some mild hoppy bitterness--not very watery on the plus size. The beer is refreshing but there’s nothing really exciting about it.

Each year has a different picture? I never knew. Haven’t had this in several years, maybe even 5, but I can pretty much guarantee it still and always tastes the same. Sweet, light dark fruits, bready, tangy. I don’t get the appeal of sammy smith’s.

Amber hue. white head that quickly disappears. Aroma of piney hops, malt and applesauce. Moderate fizz and really nice sweet but refreshing mouthfeel. Tastes of roast twigs and grapes with assertive, but not overpowering hops at the end. Very well balanced.

Smells alright, toast and cereal. Pours clear orange with a frothy white head. Tastes a little metallic, very malty. Good mouthfeel, full bodied and filling.

Bouteille 500ml. De couleur ambrée et claire. Nez malté de caramel sucré et légèrement rôti, léger de noix, d’épices et de houblon floral avec des traces fruitées (raisins) . Moyennement ronde en bouche et moyennement pétillante avec une texture légèrement huileuse. Léger goût fruité sucré (raisins, traces d’agrumes) et d’épices (cannelle, notes de poivre) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût assez malté de caramel sucré et légèrement rôti avec des traces de miel puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon floral ainsi que des notes de noix. Post-goût moyen-long et un peu sec, légèrement amer de houblon floral, de rôti avec des petites notes de noix. (2006)

Peliroja aspera mucho gusto como buena cerveza de season semi amarga poca espuma. No la mejor pero recomendable de igual manera.

Pours an amber color with a fluffy off white head that leaves spotty lacing. Smell of caramel, toffee, nuts and molasses. Tastes of all the same things that are in the smell but can also taste the seaweed. Mouthfeel is heavy and watery with ok carbonation and a dry finish. Overall this was a decent winter warmer but nothing spectacular. It was interesting to use seaweed in a beer.

Dec 2012 - Surprisingly light in colour. Sweet nutty flavours, mild british hops and maltiness - pretty standard. A good example of a British beer, and nice enough, bit a little boring.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle shared at beers of the world. Aroma is slight cinnamon nutmeg and gingerbread. Pours bronze and clear with a fizzy head. Taste is a little bland with notes of the spices and a caramel malt behind it. Very easy to drink but very unremarkable for the style. I like my Christmas beers to pop.
