Has a soapy aroma with a small trace of fruit in there as well. Flavor has started to fall apart and is nothing but a average ale with faded artifical fruit flavor. Might have been nice if i had found a bottle of this when it was fresh on the shelf.

On the lighter side for a christmas ale, light hints of cranberry, still an ok beer, just weak for a christmas beer!

Light amber with no head. A bit of cranberry aroma and not a whole lot else. The flavour is a bit muddy tasting, with hints of cranberry. Lacking.

A nice red amber color with a thin white head. looks like a Christmas ale, but its weak fruity aroma and sweet cranberry taste left me looking for some pumpkin ale.

cranberry jelly, vanilla, a1 sauce, gummy bears. No head, amber body. Taste is just off... like the water from shrimp and junk.

Bottled. Hazy amber. Sweetish aroma of lingonberries or cranberries. Fairly sweet with dense mouthfeel. The berries are accompanied by some roasty malt. Salty finish with low-medium bitterness. A quite enjoyable straightforward beer.

had this one a while back and forgot to rate it. it was a an amber color that had no transparent aspects to it. the aroma was full of xmas spice, smelled much like xmas potpouri. the body was nothing special, the spices were present again.
