Last of a 6pk of this beer, time to review

Appearance - clear amber colour with white head

smell - cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger

taste - much of what the nose hinted at - cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, honey, hops

mouthfeed - medium bodied, full carbonation, sweet body, kiss of hops in the finish to make it slightly bitter, alcohol is masked well

overall - I passed this up in years past, but finally got around to getting this and it's very solid, perhaps the well rounded of the winter warmers that I've tried to date. Will definetly be checking for it next holiday season

price point - 6pk/$8.99

Serving type: bottle

A winter classic from Northeast Ohio. You have to be VERY careful with GLBC's Christmas Ale because it will knock you on your butt in no time. It truly is the perfect sweet honey, alcohol infused taste of Christmastime. November 1 (the release date of Christmas Ale) is a holiday in itself for Northeast Ohioans.

Serving type: on-tap
