First try @Red Bear. Full pour. Hazy ginger gold pour, lingering lace. Herbal sweet tea & honey. Smells like ginger, which is fine. Juicy ginger, herbal sweet - but not quite rosemary, lemon honey, itchy wheat, bittergreen finish. Where's the pepper? Too sweet.

Still trying @Red Bear. Clear, dark copper sheen. Looks good. Metallic, golden raisin sour nose. Obvious metallic, kettle sour with more of a cranberry & marzipan feel to it, not cherry. Thin, acidy, crispy, doughy on the residual. Meh.

On tap @Red Bear. Dull, almost clear, medium amber pour. Sweet, caramel, veg-menthol, banana ester nose. Super sweet, caramelized, clove, creme. Feels like an aged keg by how smooth & toffee-ish it is. Messy & holiday inspired. Not loving it.

Hazy, dark ginger gold, half frothy pour @Red Bear. Big & obvious tangerine nose; yeasty mint. Menthol driven. Mellow, sweet onion, herbal hops, un-sweet white orange pith. Like a cool mint IPA. Frothy, good carb, some texture. Liked.

Hazy, dull dark brown pour at the source. 8.2% Vanilla & cookie batter nose. Bittersweet leaning sweet, oatmeal raisin cookie, too much vanilla, numbing mellow bite-y hops on the tail. Thin, slight acid, strong carbonation, warming booze. Good+.
