COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This full bodied red ale with a caramel malt sweetness is balanced to a slightly dry finish with choice Yakima Valley hops. Our annual tribute to the return of the live reindeer and the holiday season.

Had on tap at the brewpub in a pint glass. I didn’t take good notes beyond the numbers, but it was just fine.

Draught. Pours an orange amber with a whispy off-white head. Aroma is mild. Mild dry and nutty with sweet caramel notes spice notes. Faintly bitter finish. Medium bodied with little carbonation. Okay.

On tap at the brewpub, December 26, 2008. Murky golden with a large, frothy egg-white head that is long lasting. Slightly mild rye aroma, some light sweet malt and a moderately sour grain flavor, light notes of apricot and peach. Nice mouthfeel - pillowy soft carbonation with a full, chewey feel. Finish has a bit of oakiness. Solid beer, but nothing to necessarily write home about.

Right off the bat I notice an overwhelming aroma of buttered popcorn. It was not a good thing. mixed with the caramelly malts it got a bit better, but then showed up in a big way while consuming too and that was a big big turn off. Too powerful to overcome. Wasn’t horrible as I went along, but didn’t reach my "good beer" standard either.

Tap: This pours a deep amber body with a sustained, good lacing head. The aroma and flavor are sweet caramel, toast, toffee, and some apples and pears. The light hop presence keeps the sweetness from getting overwhelming. Sessionable.
