A- Poured into a pint glass. Good thick foamy 2 finger off white head set on top of a copper amber body. A little haze to it, not totally clear. Some nice cling to the side of the glass as you drink.

S- Good hoppy notes with a hint of some malty pine and a touch of maple perhaps?

T- Big hops in there up front. At 65 IBUs it really does shine. The caramel malt comes through towards the finish with the hop bitterness lingering in the finish. Picking up a bit of the alcohol in the finish as well but it's very minimal.

M- Just a perfect feel to this beer. Carbonation is right and it has a smooth finish and clean feel to it.

O- If you are a hop head and want the right kind of ale for the holidays, this is the one you need to pick up. Great beer.
