Cranberry, apple, cinnamon, biscuit malt, and hay aroma. Cloudy reddish amber with giant off-white head. Lightly sweet cranberry-apple, cinnamon, biscuit malt, and mildly bitter grass/orange peel flavor. Good body.

From a pounder can. Pour is pretty, it's fun to watch, maroon colored with a little haze, nice big head that fades after a few minutes. Interesting cranberry and spices nose. I usually do not care for holiday brews, especially the ones that are spiced, but this stuff initially is not too bad. The tartness of the cranberry is there, and the spices are there, but it seems to be a little more balanced compared to most winter holiday brews. Also, the ABV is a little more respectable, so it does not come across like a volatile bastard. Smoother and easier than yer typical Christmas brew. Yea, not bad. Probably one of the better, and more appreciated spiced holiday brews I've had in a great while.
