Head is medium, tan, average retention. Colour is coppery, light hazy. Aroma is moustly gingerbread, light mellow fruity, bit caramel. Taste is medium malty base, nice gingerbread yet not so sweet, light hoppy, soft carbonation, good one, enjoyed.

Can/Fest. A- Rye, malt, mild ginger, mild allspice. A- Copper color, hazy liquid, beige head. T- Mild ginger cookie, rye, malty. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Okay. Honestly, I expected this huge complex brew filled with gingerbread and Christmas spice. Good but a tad underwhelming. Would like to revisit.
