Sample at the brewpub during the Santa's Beard Curler Release & 'Beard' Contest on 12/07/2019. Cloudy dark amber color with a medium off-white head that diminishes steadily to a film. Stringy lace. Aroma of piney hops, fruit and malt. Medium to full body with flavors of resiny hops, tropical fruit and caramel malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a slightly tart fruity hop aftertaste. The spelling of this beer makes me wince but I am sure there is a story behind it. Pretty good overall.
