The caramel sweetness really balances the bitterness perfectly, and at 4.2% it goes down so easily I finished the six-pack before the game even ended. Light, floral, and festive without being heavy—this is my new holiday go-to.

The bitter finish hits just right after that initial caramel note, and at 4.2% it’s dangerously easy to keep sipping through a whole evening of holiday catch-ups. Even my picky beer friend asked what we were drinking and grabbed another can.

That bitter finish at the tail end is what does it for me—it keeps the 4.2% lager from tasting syrupy, so I polished off a six-pack while trimming the tree without feeling weighed down. Light and floral on the nose, exactly what I want from a festive brew.
