Clear copper colour with decent head. Quite lively, gassy. Mild malty aroma. Flavour is ok but has a metallic edge. Simple session Bitter with no connection to Xmas except for the daft name.

50cl bottle from Crafty Pint. Appearance - bright copper with a nice fluffy head. Nose - light biscuit and shandy notes. Taste - more biscuits and lemonade. Palate - light to medium bodied with a light creamy texture and a balanced dry finish. Overall - it’s not very complex but it’s very balanced and easy to drink.
