This inviting Winter Seasonal Beer presents a festive sensory profile centered on comfort and warmth. A foundation of rich caramel malt provides a smooth, sweet base that perfectly supports aromatic layers of vanilla and evocative winter spices. Bright notes of marmalade offer a citrusy, fruit-forward lift, reminiscent of holiday preserves. While lighter in strength at 4.8% ABV, it retains a satisfying presence, balancing its spiced complexity with a clean malt finish. It captures the essence of traditional seasonal treats, blending the sweetness of toffee with the aromatic charm of a spiced holiday bake for a highly approachable winter pint.
Appearance.Deep amber to copper in color with brilliant clarity. Pours with a well-formed, persistent off-white head that leaves moderate lacing on the glass.
