Draft at the brewpub. I’m a sucker for Christmas Ales and this was nice and totally unique. Tons of spruce, fruit and spice. This reminded me of a German spiced punch. Really cool.

Luminous hazy orange body with a bubble cream head that looks still fermenting. The bouquet begins with pleasant whiffs of cinnamon and nutmeg, building into a warm crescendo. Sweet, smooth body speckled with wonderful powdery doses of cinnamon, allspice, and perhaps ginger and mace. A touch lemony with apple pie spice on the finish, Creamy body and enjoyable throughout.

On tap @ Papago. Pour is deep amber with a tan head. Aroma is full of holiday cheer showing notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and ginger. Flavor shows the same. Overall body is moderate, soft, and extremely spicy. Definately has to be your type of thing, but definately good around the holidays.
