Great Lakes Christmas Ale
From 12oz bottle to Bruges hybrid glass on 11/12/11 *From notes A: A darker, golden color. Huh...there's a part of me that would like to see my Xmas ale with a reddish hue...or maybe green. A good pour yields a tight 2.25 finger head and above average lacing. S: Cinnamon and the traditional holiday warming spices. T: It kinda tastes like I'm chewing on a piece of Big Red. It's pretty cinnamony, with a generous dose of mulling spice to boot. M: The texture's decent, but this time of the year I'd like a bit more weight. It's a bit thin, especially for the ABV and style. O: Great Lakes doesn't disappoint with their Christmas Ale. If you're looking for a well spiced winter warmer, this is for you. I don't foresee me knocking back many of these, but if I was gonna reach for something spiced, this would certainly suffice.
