An easy drinking Yuletide ale. Reddish in colour, this beer tastes of festive spice and dried fruits. Perfect next to a roaring fire.

Micro keg at home for Christmas courtesy of my brother. It's OK, good colour and a reasonable flavour - all that you would expect from a Christmas brew

Cask @ Britons Protection, Manchester. Reddish clear brown with an amber glow and a creamy head. It's a crisp, fuller tasting sweeter bitter, with a heavier bitterness styling more apparent in aroma than taste!
