Looks and smells that a cream ale, but the flavor is very egg nog and cream heavy, but in a good way. Not a beer that I want to drink all day, but excellent seasonal offering. The beer is very balanced with a nice dry finish.

Brewery draught, 12/1/22. Clear blonde with some brass. Small, white head. Nose shows a good depth of buttercream malt to balance the egg nog spice. Clean, no alcohol, not over spiced. Soft, malty, great depth and attenuation, spice can mong on strong but not overdone through the middle lingering with some astringency on the finish to creat a balanced, dry beer.
