Eartha Kitt provided the original vocals to 'Santa Baby'. Slightly paler golden coloured. Weaker textured than its strength would suggest, not bad though, and with a good smoothness. Mildly spiced hoppy beer, but the latter remains dominant.

Hand pulled pint in the Ritz (a Spoons in Lincoln), lunchtime on 29th November 2025. Golden orange body, clean and clear, white crown on top. Citrus and white wine aroma/taste. Decent enough without getting my senses too excited.

På The Mossy Well, fra cask, som Holbeck Santa Baby 5.2%: lett uklar lys gylden med fint skum som varer. Godt anslag av citrus, litt urter og gule druer. Slank og lettdrikkelig med behagelig bitterhet i avslutningen.

Cask at The George JDW, Croydon 24/11/2025 (UT lists Holbeck Brewhouse as a subsidiary of Welbeck Abbey, has the same 2011 established date on beer clip as well so hopefully ok here) Zesty citrusy aroma and taste, some grapefruit and lemon, faint notes of melon and pineapple, grass, florals, soft cask carb, bitter hoppy finish.

I'm in a favourite haunt on Halloween of Brewver's very own Deanso... and he hasn't had this beer yet so maybe he'll pop in at some point for it. If he does he'll find a sweetish, but quite hoppy cask lager here, very cask in design with some enjoyable sugars.

Clear golden with a head. The Atlas mountains provided the scariest bus journey of my life so far. Nothing scary about this Atlas hoppy-bitter, which is quite easy-drinking as long as you don't mind a mid-bitterness to your ale.

Spotty beige head & collar on a hazy pale golden coloured body.
Zesty, lime & stone fruit aroma.
Medium bodied, lightly carbonated with a cloying back.
Lime, medicinal, chalky & yeast tastes with a tangy peppery finish.
Nice enough for the ABV.
