Lakefront Holiday Spice Lager Beer

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

Nice light amber golden pour with a tight short white head, ample lacing. Honey, fruits, spices in the very pleasing aromas, Cinnamon, oranges, and more honey. Honey and oranges upfront in the flavor also, spices - light cinnamon and nutmeg, caramel. Drinks very nicely, warming and the 11% is absolutely hidden. Pleasant surprise.

Fruits, spices, honey and oranges are all noteworthy within this sturdy ox of a spiced beer. Slightly boozy, medium bodied and warming. Fairly malty with a calm spice profile. Thin bubbly head on top of a dark amber body, crystal clear and leaving little lacing. Hard to fathom this being 11%...could envoke a long winter's nap for sure.

A bright amber colored beer with a big fluffy light beige head rising above. Good hang time. settles into a thick ringlet and light dusting of film. Bold ginger, clove, cinnamon presence in the nose. So well crafted it is beautifully muted with the caramel. Big alcohol bite in the medium body.

This is weird. Imagine liqiud gingerbread. I think that was the goal of this brewer. Cloying is an understatement, but it does taper off slightly as you drink more (if you can stand it). Psst. You guys are trying too hard. Scale it back a notch!

Picked up this brew the other day at a local packy in Peachtree City; the only place I know of that carries Lakefront brews. Aroma is a bit strange with some sour notes and honey and maybe some spices coming through that emphasize nutmeg and cinnamon sticks as well as citrus with some faint alcohol burning through. Appearance is a reddish to copper-orange in color when held to the light with a medium-sized head on top that is off-white in color and creamy but diminishes to a light lacing that sticks to the glass and is well-carbonated. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied with some complex spice notes as well as some balance with a palate that is wet-like but a bit thin and slippery. Flavor is of strong spice and honey with some cinnamon as well as some nutmeg with a decent malty backbone with an aftertaste that is a bit cloying and undesirable with a finish that is strong with too much alcohol noticeable and something just seems off. Overall, not the greatest spiced ale here and decent at best and could be much smoother in my opinion; not really worth buying a sixer so if you see it in single, buy it then.

This one is just too sweet to be good. The body is a clear brown, with an ok head. There’s a cloying caramel sweetness to the malt. No hop bitterness to balance and some noticeable pie spice.

Extremely likable beer. Good pour: mild copper color with ample head and strong lacing. Honey aroma and very nice pumpkin, orange spice flavor. But, unlike some spiced beers, it doesnt seem like "just an infusion." Rather, it is very nicely nuanced and balanced.

Interesting. Pours a light orange with no head. Huge spice aroma, even larger pumpkin pie flavor. First taste is a whopper, but it either mellows out or grows on you a bit. Very likeable.
