SLOWBEER'S 12 DAYS OF XMAS!

12 BEERS OF XMAS
Day 1: Hargreaves Hill (VIC) Phoenix 750ml $35.00
I for one have been very eagerly anticipating this particular release. Imperial Red Ales are few & far between in this country & its great to see this hitting the shelves. Very much US inspired, with truckloads of Simcoe hops used, imparting a big fruity, resinous hop character. In keeping with the style there is also a rich malt backbone of caramel, toffee & butterscotch. The malt in conjunction with the hops also provide a lovely, slightly sweet marmalade character with bitter citrus rind. So how is this festive you ask? Obviously its red & perhaps most importantly it will pair beautifully with Christmas fare. Additionally, with only 350 individually numbered wax sealed bottles available, it would be more than appropriate for an xmas toast!

Tomorrow: Eggenberg (AUT) Samichlaus
