Reddish deep amber in color with a large head. Aroma is fruity cranberry and spicy cinnamon. Taste is the same. Really good.

On tap at New Belgium - Denver Airport, pours a clear dark amber orange with a small beige head. Aroma brings out plenty of holiday spices, cranberry and dry Belgian yeast. Flavour is spicy, with orange peel, cranberries, and dry Belgian yeast. Balanced well for such a beer; the dryness is well-suited for this. Very good.

Pours a lightly hazy red. It smells of cranberries, malt, and winter spices. The flavor is sweet with some mild hops in there. Spices are clearly present but not overdone. Pretty good.

Can drunk on the day before we fly home from Kentucky. Dark red amber with a large reddish brown head, nose of Christmassy red fruit and spices. Whoa, rather sweet and it tastes like a cinnamon cranberry latte, that's a bit surprising out of the gate. A bit like an herbal spiced tea or mulled wine / Glühwein. Alright so I have to give props for its Christmas spirit, but honestly a bit too sweet for my taste with too little hop bitterness balancing the brown sugar/maltiness.

Cranberry, cinnamon, brown sugar/toffee malt, and grass aroma. Amber with large light tan head. Moderately sweet cinnamon, nutmeg, cranberry, toffee malt, and moderately bitter grass/fresh hay flavor. Good body and balance. A very nice seasonal.
