Brewed to our festive recipe, it’s a 5% spiced golden ale. We add ginger, cinnamon and star anise to the boil to add a lightly spiced flavour. Perfect to cut through all the heavy festive treats.

First tried in cask at the Cuthbert Brodrick in Leeds. Clear golden with a creamy-frothy head. Has a nice easy-drinking texture with a light gingery character. Retried on 'Mad Friday' 2025 as Beer#10. Tenth brew on one of the busiest drinking days of the year, and it is busy! Clear golden good-looking ale. Hoppy with lots of tasty sugars, which I guess kind of makes it a wintery ale.

On cask at the Black Swan in Pickering. Appearance - golden with a decent head and a slight haze. Nose - nutmeg and cinnamon with ginger predominantly. Some biscuits. Taste - same again. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - for a Christmas beer this wasn’t bad.
