What Our Editors Thought
“Holiday spice and sawn pine lumber echo the season in the subtle nose. The body offers light acidity and mild sweetness that’s almost too subtle for the intentions.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Smell immediately reminds me of South African biltong—loads of coriander and umami. Glimpses of citrus with shadowy hints of spice. Cranberry tartness with an orange wash that has a touch of pith. Hard to pick out cranberries or nutmeg; it’s rather the coriander-citrus that holds the show.”
What the Brewers Say
“Includes more than 10 pounds of cranberries per barrel, along with sweet orange zest, a touch of coriander, and a hint of sea salt.”
