drewbeerme (1925), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jan 4, 2009 22oz bottle. pours hazed gold white head. nose of spice and coriander. flavor same, yeasty, gross. GJF (288), Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA Dec 30, 2008 This just didn’t work for me. Nice spicy aroma, but must say that the name "hoppy" does not apply here. It’s all sweetness and fruity spices. A bit cloying for my tastes. timfoolery (419), California, USA Dec 30, 2008 Bottle from Valley Wine in Davis, CA. This brew was an odd mix of hops and holiday spice, which didn’t really go. It was a good beer, but no where near what I’m used to. Eh. KimJohansen (5208), Copenhagen V, Denmark Dec 25, 2008 Cloud amber with medium white head. Sourish aroma with notes of sour milk. Sour flavour with lacto and yeasty notes. Sourish finish. DTM (453), Winters, California, USA Dec 22, 2008 Bottle from a wine shop in Davis, CA. Maybe we got a bad bottle. Seemed a little flat and not much flavor. Maybe a little bit of the typical holiday spice, but lacked the hoppiness that is stated in the name. Average attempt.
