Santa's Private Reserve Ale from Rogue Ales Brewery / Brewer's on the Bay
Rating: B+
Appearance: Brownish garnet in color, pretty clear. Good head and lacing. Attractive-looking.
Smell: Aroma is hoppy at first, but after the glass has warmed it's definitely more malty, with sweet caramel and grain notes.
Taste: APA levels of hoppiness, nice malt character as well. Hops are citrusy, and a touch harsh. Finishes nice and dry.
Mouthfeel: Medium-body, clings to the palate.
Drinkability: Went well with a homemade chicken quesadilla (even the tortillas were homemade!)
Serving type: bottle
