Wreck The Halls

Hoppy Holiday Ale
Full Sail Brewing, Hood River, Oregon
22oz bottle, 6.5%abv

This one is better than the last, but still not super. Billed on the label as a "sublime hybrid of an american IPA and a winter warmer" -- it's not really sublime, and I'm not really getting much of the hybrid bit either. If they simply billed it as an American IPA, it would be a good beer. It's all hops, both in the nose and taste, with little body or spiciness.

It's a tasty beer, it just really doesn't feel like it fits well in the winter category.
