To quote the label of this comically named and Oxfordshire brewed amber ale, "Falling from the sky like little bombs of flavour come Reindeer Droppings! Each one is sweet like California raisins, but bitter and pungent like a freshly peeled grapefruit, lip-smackingly tasty... then "pow!" its gone."

Review and Tasting


Sampled on 20/12/2014

Appearance:

(sample best before 22-Aug-15) Clear, orange amber with quickly diminishing off-white head and light lacing.

Aroma:

Cornmeal, caramel, pink grapefruit zest, dried cranberries with lightly grassy hops and fruit cake.

Taste:

Well-balanced maltyness and piney pink grapefruit hops.

Aftertaste:

Cleaning mild zesty grapefruit and orange bitterness. Overall: Easy drinking session ale.
