A powerhouse festive dark-amber beer. This seasonal premium ale is a quadruple-hopped Christmas delight, full of bittersweet fruits, subtle orange-peel and aromatic spices. Fiendishly drinkable.

On cask at Full House, Hemel Hempstead. 4.7%. The beer starts smooth and round. Malt, Ale with hints of sourness. Easy to drink, round and smooth with a dry caramel sourish easy to drink aftertaste! Nice with hints of nuts, not much bitterness.
