Draft @ FBGBF ’10 pours cloudy golden, thin white head. A spiced up Cottonmouth for xmas? Interesting approach that indeed stays away from the usual cinnamon xmas ales I am used to seeing. Aroma is of nice light spices, mild bitterness and some tart elements of the cranberries. Flavors, light ginger palate, coupled with a mild attenuated cottonmouth-bubblegum mouthfeel mixed with some bitter orange notes. Possible Belgian yeast touch of champagne like yeast, a med-high carbonation. Cranberry is thin and adds a slight touch of tartness to the finish. Tasty.

Draft @ FBGBF ’10. Swamp Head. Interesting brewery, up and coming and quite honestly, each of their beer is unique. The incorporation of locality in the brewing process is always a nice extra. Pours nice hazy golden, white head. Aroma and flavors, lots of good honey sweetness. The addition of NZ hops always brings a great dimension to the beer that I’ve come to enjoy a lot. There is a mild touch of barley, pale malts, that is nicely mixed with the bitter hops though keeping a unique honey flavor coupled with some tropical notes. Light and refreshing. Greta to see them come to Tampa.

draft. pours amber, tan head. aroma of caramel, strong citrus, grapefruit nose. flavors, lots of citrus goodness, boozy mouthfeel, nice bitter finish with notes of caramel malts. beer got a lot nicer as it warmed up, allowed for the warming abv to be present, and mesh with the hop profile and the malt balance. Tasty.
