Pour is a clear red with a large white head. Aroma is a lot of orange peel. Flavor is pine, hot ginger and a bitter finish. Finish is more bitterness with a bit of hot ginger left on the tongue. This was just ok. A bit all over the place and a bit too much ginger.

Can for Thursday night football. Finally a revolution brew not terribly priced. But unfortunately not terribly good. Bright and clear cherry amber with a decent frothy beige head. Nose is light orange and ginger. Tastes astringent and medicinal, orange, cherry, ginger, pine. Slick palate. Plastic aftertaste.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear ruby red with a finger of off-white head that lingers. Caramel malt aromas with citrus zest and ginger notes. Slight toffee and pine added to the ginger and citrus. Balanced but with a crisp and dry finish.

The aroma is malty with toffee, oranges, and a little ginger. The flavor is sweet with caramel malt, oranges, and a bit of ginger. Enjoyable brew.

HAHA, funny name and interesting can from chalet. Once popped, this stuff smells like a pine tree, no lie, a real Christmas tree, heheh. Taste is spruce and pine needles. Yes, it really does make me think that it's Christmas. Color is slightly darker than pale. Lots of hops and very few if any spices, as in any other holiday brew that is spiced to death and I'm glad, I dislike those holiday spiced brews. Yes, more like an IPA and I bet IPA lovers will like this. Can't really find the orange peel, but I think I do pick up a little bit of ginger and heat in the finish. I don't like IPA but this is better than most holiday brews. So be it.
