Hoppin' Frog - Frosted Frog Christmas Ale

Our seventeenth and final Christmas ale is Hoppin' Frog Frosted Frog Christmas Ale purchased at Vintage Estates.


"The essence of Christmas is captured in this very bottle you are holding. Perfectly blended spices compliment Frosted Frog's rich malt flavors, creating the ultimate Christmas experience. Celebrate the holidays as you savor this very special seasonal offering." It has 12 IBUs, 80.1°P, and is 8.6% ABV.

Overall average rating: 9.25/10

This beer pours a ruby red with a good carbonation. The first aroma to hit you and a "big boy" cinnamon and then nutmeg, honey, clove, and orange zest. The taste has the perfect amount of honey to counteract the cinnamon. We constructed a "Bell Curve" for this beer. You start slowly with the hop and orange, build to an intense cinnamon, and finish slowly with honey and nutmeg.

Shawn- "Honestly, I think I smell happiness," 9.25/10.
Angela- This is a smooth beer, spicy and yummy in both aroma and taste, I love it, 9.25/10.
Chris- This is fantastic. You can taste all of the flavors. I can't rate this a 10, but I also can't tell you what it needs to improve, 9.25/10.
