Aroma is toffee, pine, light minty, mild bubblegum and fruity esters- also some dough and marzipan. Flavor is slight citrus, light dried pine needle, green grassy mints, orange zest, and a moderate to mild bitterness- some cracker as well. Perhaps a bit old.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Sep 19, 2009 Hazy yellowish copper color. Very generous and fragrant head.
Nose is the thing for this beer. Big Christmas spices nose with pine. Think Christmas pudding, or spice cake. Very appetizing nose.
Given the wonderful nose this beer is a little disappointing on the palate. A mellow/weakish malt character and slightly sharp but tame hoppiness is all there is. Unexciting. With a nose like this, you have to give us more! thirdeye11 (553), Texas, USA
