Saranac Winter Wassail

Bottle from neighbors collection, amber pour with a cinnamon and spice aroma. Watery spice taste ehh it was ok but thin.

Amber colored beer. Aroma very strong of spices. Terribly balanced: very forward flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice that were not balanced by any other flavors. Little malt or hop in the flavor, which contributed to this beer tasting like a spiced winter dessert done with little craft. Sorry for the rant, but this beer was hard to stomach.

Bottle - Poured a very dark amber in color with a medium off-white head that shrunk to a thin rim around the glass. Aroma was definitely full of spices... allspice, orange and nutmeg... as well as some small amount of hops. Flavor was a bit disappointing as there was not much of it. The flavors all seemed to be there, they just weren’t very distinct. There was also quite a bit of bitterness that did not add much to the experience. The aroma lead me to believe that it would be better... unfortunately it was not. Not worth repeating...

Bottle from the Winter mixz pack not a very interesting beer, a little spice in the nose and forefront of the traste probably wknt buy again

It pours a clear bronze color with reddish highlights and a small light tan head. The aroma is malty and heavily spiced with a big shot of orange as well. Likewise the flavor is heavily spiced with nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice and orange zest over sweet doughy and bready malts. There is a hint of hops at the end that fades into the finish along with some of the spiciness. Its light to medium bodied with mild carbonation. Overall it’s a very tasty brew but the spices are a bit heavy and out of balance with the rest of beer.
