YuleSmith (Summer)
Pours a deep hazy amber color with a nice 2 finger cream colored head that leaves some light lacing behind. Aroma is nice big chewy malt with lots of good hops underneath, a big bodied brew almost barley wine like. Taste is malt lots of caramel with toffee hints big and chewy again with some big deep bitter flavors underneath the massive body. Good hop flavors with out being overdone. Lingering pine bitterness and resin mixed with citrus flavors apricot and pear dominating the citrus part. Tastey beer more so then the smell. Mouthfeel is big full fat and chewy with nice level of carbonation. Again barley wine like in feel also. Drinkability is good an enjoyable seasonal and I2PA with a huge malty body. Wouldn't mind having a few of these every winter. Thanks merlin48 for sharing this treat with me.
