A - Lovely off white half inch head already with a bit of lacing from it settling. A light amber color with a bit of haze to it.

S - What a terrific aroma or pine, cayenne, lemon, and cinnamon. Very inviting.

T - Taste is of grapefruit and evergreen with notes of butterscotch and orange towards the finish. Definitely a spicier IPA but that is what is so amazing about this where it still has the hoppy characteristics and the spice just seems to live in there happily with it.

M - Perfect carbonation with orange on the back of the tongue and into the throat. Creamy but dry.

O - A really nice holiday ale from Sierra Nevada. I bought a six pack and then went out the next day to get a case to make sure I had more on hand. Ive enjoyed it with pizza and Ive had it with steaks and it just seems to work with any food. I may pick up another case.
