Nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla bean, cloves and star anise... Tastes like a wink, a smile and a hug exquisitely blended with snowflakes of crisp handcrafted cider. Pairs well with curling up under a blanket by the fire, and being warmed by thoughts of all that is good in the world. Enjoy!

330mL bottle, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out cinnamon and other winter spices, along with medium sweet apple juice. Flavour is very spice-dominant, with lots of cinnamon, maybe some nutmeg, and medium sweet apples. The spiciness imparts an odd astringency. No complexity whatsoever, but it's drinkable nonetheless.

Some good foam and soft clear light yellow body, good carbonation. Dry apple dominates with only vague hints of cinnamon and vanilla. Flavour brings out more cinnamon and vanilla, not sure what happened to the star anise. Nonetheless the balance is great, highly drinkable and very nicely done.
