From the brewer

Pours golden with orange highlights. Smells alluringly sweet like caramel apples with a little spice and orange zest. Taste is bold and balanced with a good amount of citrus and earthy hop bitters to offset the malt character. Finishes dry with a bit of fruit.

Who's been drinking this

Reminiscent of cinnamon graham crackers; sweet and spiced. I think I may be done with holiday beers, because I actually felt a real sense of letdown on getting those flavors.
Interesting take on winter ale. Fruity and hints of sweetness. Just the right amount of hops on the finish.
Bottle
Great sweet malt body with pleasant cereals. No off finish, just some mild hops.
Bottle at Home
Light and crispy sweet body with warm peppery hop finish.
