Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Dark amber color with red hue, hazy, compact head. Aroma of cookies, a bit soapy, soda; later, even raw chicken meat. Drier and weaker than I expected; the flavor is a bit fruity and spicy, like a light fruitcake; it has a moderate residual sweetness in the final, more cake too.
Nothing wrong in the brewing process, actually it’s even balanced, but it’s no longer a real beer, I have little interest in these.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out a melange of holiday spices, with ginger especially upfront, followed by nutmeg and maybe a touch of cinnamon. Flavour is about the same, with some cosmetic notes, some nail polish and a little ginger. Typical poor Red Collar quality - off-notes galore. Very poor.
