This annual favorite is a sublime hybrid of an American style IPA and a winter warmer. The result is a bold brew that celebrates the holidays with an intriguing blend of Centennial hops providing elegant citrus notes balanced by a backdrop of a rich caramel malt body. Dry hopped to amplify the aromas and flavor. Available in 22oz. bottles and draught. Gold medal winner at the 2010 World Beer Championships.

Orange-brown, bit hazy. Brownish thick head. Explosion of noble hops, a bit of chalk. Fine hopflower nose, very nice. Taste gives malt first, good underbuild, then very bitter finish, kind of spice-herbal extract, in the nicest way possible. Retronasal, I'd hazard lemon-grass! Sweet vegetable frying oil-flavour. Not overly full-bodied, more restrained. Oily again. Bitter-effect is very long; nice bitterness, honest hops. I might have wished for an extra, though.
