CrossBeau Brewing Cosy Campfire
This Winter Seasonal Beer pours a warm reddish-amber, evocative of a glowing hearth. The profile is anchored by a smooth, lightly malty foundation that emphasizes toasted bread and soft caramel. Uplifting the malt character are distinct citrus and fruit notes derived from the El Dorado and Lemondrop hops. These specific varieties contribute bright layers of lemon zest and subtle stone fruit, providing a vibrant counterpoint to the seasonal warmth. While many winter ales lean on heavy spices, this expression focuses on the harmonious interplay between deep malt complexity and modern hop aromatics, resulting in a balanced and cozy experience with a refreshing citrus lift.
Appearance. Deep reddish-amber to copper (14–18 SRM). Pours with a thick, persistent off-white head that leaves delicate lacing; clarity is good with a slight garnet highlight.
Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a backbone of toasted bread, caramel, and light toffee. The hop profile is prominent for the style, showcasing bright lemon peel from Lemondrop and hints of tropical fruit and pear from the El Dorado hops, with very low earthy spice in the background.
Taste. Initial impression of sweet, bready malt and light caramel. The mid-palate introduces a refreshing citrus clarity, specifically lemon and candied orange peel, supported by the stone fruit character of El Dorado hops. Bitterness is low to moderate, providing just enough balance to the malt without lingering. The finish is clean and malty with a faint, pleasant lemony aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle lift on the tongue. Light alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, with no detectable astringency.
