Jan 28, 2009 Pours cloudy golden amber with a big fluffy head that stays around for an eternity. possibly the prettiest head ever. crazy. nose is basement musk, with a solid doss of pine resins, citrus, and malty breadyness. taste is very similiar, reminds me of my dads batch 8. it is definitely a glorious beer.

Jan 26, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear amber-brown with a thick off-white head and a lot of lacing. Bitter, hoppy aroma, with malt, citrus, and dark fruits. Big taste, bitter and sweet, with malt, hops, pine, grass, and dark fruits. Lingering bitterness and a hint of sweetness. So tasty.

Jan 24, 2009 quite an enjoyable and highly appropriate brew for the holidays and for that matter the winter. full of flavor and balanced yet strong enough to take away the winter chills, or at least make them tolerable. described by the brewer in the best of terms and highly desireable to hop heads and christmas brew lovers everywhere. just great!

Jan 14, 2009 Updated: Jan 15, 2009bomber from south bay drugs poured into a tulip pint. pours a beautiful ruby amber with a one inch soap bubble head and great lacing. aroma simply fantastic. huge, fresh, spicy hops, grapefruit, pine, a touch of malt sweetness, and maybe even some cherry. flavor is nothing short of delicious. big hop bitterness up front with a spicy note that instantly warms the mouth. citrus flavors of orange zest and grapefruit come through with a great balance of roasty, caramel malt and a long lasting bitterness. palate is wonderfully smooth and nicely carbonated with a great warming alcohol presence. honestly, a near perfect winter ale.

Jan 13, 2009 Bottled, brought from City Beer, SF. Clear amber color, short off-white head. Aroma of grapefruit, big hop, some malt. As in all alesmiths again a perfect balance of big hop, pine and grapefruit on a malty background. Strong and tasty, but also quite soft. Great stuff.
