Yule Christmas Ale
A spiced ale brewed for the Christmas season with honey, ginger, cinnamon and orange peel. The model is the holiday ales of north-east Ohio, where the brewers first came across the style. It pours burnt orange to amber. Honey, raisins, warm cinnamon and citrus zest make up the aroma. The palate is sweet and malty, recalling fruitcake and spiced dried fruit, and closes on a faint echo of the peel. The feel is soft and chewy. It returns each winter and is sold only around the holidays.
