wychwood bah humbug christmas ale
December 30th, 2007 by don
The Christmas season always tends to get me in a bad mood. Dealing with all the idiots in the stores and out on the streets just gets to me and makes me grumpy. I tend to be a bit of a scrooge and go around using my own combination of four-letter words as my personal way of saying “bah humbug”
This beer is not something that should make anyone grumpy, though. Brewed by Wychwood Brewery in Oxfordshire, England, this beer is welcome in my stocking anytime. It pours an orangish brown with a head that dissipates quickly. The flavor is very pleasant. It starts with a slightly sweet malt flavor with what seemed to me like a hint of cherries. It isn’t real bitter, and and not overly hoppy. It’s a lighter bodied ale, and is very drinkable. A very good Christmas ale.
