Lakefront Holiday Spice Lager Beer

Brewed by Lakefront Brewery
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA

12 oz bottle. Clear brown with orange edges and a slight beige head. Nose is orange, nutmeg, clove and ginger with a touch of cinnamon. Body is fuller than expected; quite substantial. Crisp tingly carb. Taste is orange peel and bitter ginger. Spice emerges in the finish but comes off as vegetal and a bit metallic.

Bottle. Poured a clear dark orange brown color with a fizzy off white head. Smelled of brown sugar, cranberry, orange, and clove. Medium bodied and dry with burning raw alcohol. Moderately carbonated with mild bitterness. Orange liqueur and clove flavors predominated.

Bottle: Pour is deep amber with a fluffy light tan head. Aroma is of nutmeg, light clove, cinnamon, and some malt. Holy hell, this is 9.5% Alcohol is hidden darn well. This brew is full of flavor including a lot of nutmeg and clove and just a touch of honey. I am not getting much orange characters in the brew. There is just a hint of hop bitterness at the finish. Very well blended brew. I had no idea what to expect from this but I have to say that I like it a lot. Would buy again.

Crushed with Jakebra at the brewery. Hell, not bad at all. Lots of spiciness goin on in this one and a high ABV to make you happy. A good brew for what it is.

I enjoy many Lakefront beers but this is not one of them. I even tried it twice just to make sure. Thin white head with too much spice and not enough lager almost like drinking a ginger beer.

Decent beer. pours a dark copper colour, tan head, medium sized. aroma is sweet, carmel, toffee and almonds. mouthfeel is light, slightly watery. finish is weak.

This bottled brew from Indianapolis, IN poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized tan colored long lasting bubbles that left behind a hazy brown colored body with suspended carbonation and an excellent lacing. The aroma was cloven with spicy herbal notes. The mouth feel was tingly and semi-thick from start to finish. The flavor contained notes of spices herbs clove and was well mixed. I found it to be actually quite good and better than I was expecting. very quafable!

Bottle. Spice aroma, nutmeg, orange, cherry, light honey. Deep murky mahogany brown tinged with ruby, and a lacing, nicely tanned head. Acidic, tart, even slightly whiskyish taste, sour cherries and oranges with allspice and a great deal of ginger. A little stale caramel. And man, kinda boozy! Guessing 9-10%. Light-medium body. I’m guessing this would pair well with certain types of holiday food, but here, in warmer times, she’s just out of place.
