"a Festivus for the rest of us"
We ordered the beer sampler flight, so we were able to taste all 12 of their beers.
The first is their Festivus Ale which is 7.5% ABV.
"Smooth, spicy (allspice, ginger & cinnamon), malty with an elegant finish thanks to carmelized wort and a bit of bron sugar, this beer is sure to make the holidays brighter! According to the Seinfeld model, Festivus is celebrated each year on December 23rd. Those attending Festivus may also participate in the 'Aiting of Grievances' which is an opportunity to tell others how they have disappointed you in the past year, followed by a Festivus dinner, and then completed by the 'Feats of Strength' where the head of the household must be pinned. What are your Festivus Traditions?"
Overall average rating: 8.0/10
The beer is a straw/light amber color, with a cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice aroma. We taste ginger, allspice, wheat, and a little barley. There is a front tongue bite although it is not too hoppy.
Shawn- I don't think this is necessarily the best beer to start a progression with, but this has great drinkability. It is a very original adaptation of a Christmas ale and it is very well done, 8/10.
Angela- This is very delicious with all of the Christmas spices. It is a great cold weather beer - in fact, I am watching it snow as I drink it. I am excited to see what's to come if this is the starter, 8/10.
Chris- This is a delicious seasonal beer, borderline Belgian, although I wish it had a touch more body, 8/10.
