It's December 1, everyone, and you know what that means! We're half-way through our annual celebration of our Lord and Savior Jesus H. Christ. (What does the H. stand for? Does anyone know? Has anyone seen the birth certificate?)So, let's drink a Christmas Ale, and let's let it be from Great Lakes Brewing of Cleveland, Ohio.
Great Lakes Christmas Ale, An Ale with Spices and Honey. 7.5 % ABV. 30 IBU. Great Lakes Brewing, Cleveland, Ohio.
Clear, amber-hued, short-lived off-white head.
Aroma: little bit fruity (cherry-apple), little bit spicy, little bit tart. Big ginger. Interesting. Bread-y malt flavors come through, too.
In the mouth: Here we go: ginger-y, fruit-y, and honey-sweet. Nicely spice. Medium bodied. Not hard to drink at all. In fact, it is a good beer, and you can drink it. Feels a little warm and slightly boozy, but not by much. I'm going to finish this bottle easily, and I wouldn't not reject (though I do not have) another.
A holiday ale brewed with honey and spiced with fresh ginger and cinnamon.
