Great Lakes-Christmas Ale

Continuing the holiday spirit, we travel up to Cleveland for the Great Lakes Christmas Ale. From the first sniff it does not have that strong of a odor, which to me is a good sign. It is a nice amber colored ale, that has a little caramel foam head. Upon first taste, it has a nice slight hop taste followed by an aftertaste of cinnamon and a bit of ginger. I would consider this a nice beer to sit and relax with in front of a Christmas tree.
