Aug 7, 2008 My favorite Sierra nevada creation, Nicely bitter and hoppy in both smell and taste. I love this stuff, I wish they sold it here. On a side note some random numbskull in a random thread somewhere I have forgotten complained that this was one of the worst holiday brews he has ever tasted because it lacks the holiday spirit. Is that person waiting for Santa claus to come and **** him with a cinnamon **** or something?

Aug 6, 2008 I’m not sure I realized this was an IPA when I drank it, but I liked the amber hue, the solid head, the hoppy character and the nice clean finish. Pretty good beer.

Aug 5, 2008 2007 Bottle. Pours an amber color with a two finger white head. Smells kind of citrus. Tastes of hops and bitter. A decent beer, but not a winter warmer. Weaker then the sierra nevada pale ale, stronger then the ESB

Jul 28, 2008 Bottle, Xmas 2007 (thanks mum!). Good medium to dark body, short fizzy white head. A bit hoppy, floral aroma.

Jul 25, 2008 Draught @ Xmas in July @ the Bear. Ruby amber pour with tight quickly fading head. An Xmas IPA?? Hoppy and soft malts. NIce finish that leans towards dryness. Not bad but not a 96’er.
