Cheap can from kroger cincinati. Quite dark and clear with a rouge tinge shining thru. Head fades rapidly. Mild holiday combo spice aroma. FYI, I really don't care for these spice medley holiday brews, there aint many out there that I'm attracted to. First big gulp of this is exactly as expected; a winter ale over spiced bomb. Very little carbonation makes this quite mouth coating fer sher. Many ales are difficult enough without trying to cover up those ill ale attributes with cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and orange peels. Whew, in the middle I think I'm getting some leather on top of the compound. Now also perceiving a little warming sensation from the amalgam. Hoping this mishmash will provide enough brain numbing effect for a positive outcome. Yea, maybe I'm finally getting some calming outcomes near the bottom of the can. Just possibly I'm starting to get used to it? Oh well, back to reality, in the end its just another common domestic miscellany assortment and array of winter spices, added to beer. There you have it.

Cheap can at chalet. Pour is lemon yellow pale and clear. Head fades immediately. Very nice real lemon nose. But hey, the first taste is dull lemon pledge, lemon furniture cleaning polish. A little difficult initially. Very dry and dull. No sweetness to speak of, typical lager fruit beer. Bitter back end in the middle. Quite arduous an challenging for a macro pale lager lover. Lots of ill mannered incivility. Carbonation is OK, but nothing special, could use more. In the end, if the aroma wasn't so good I'd have scored this 2 points lower, blah. Less than average fruit beer. Come on Paladin, you make much better tasting beers than this fruity letdown.
