Commercial Description:
This year’s Christmas offering is an American Red brewed with American and Czech hops. We then added some cinnamon, ginger, cloves, orange peel, nutmeg, and star anise. We let the beer sit with the spices until the flavors came through without being overwhelming. The result is a tasty beer with all the favorite flavors of the holidays. 36 IBU
