Nice balance between the bitterness of the hops and the rich, full-bodied maltiness, which brings in a very subtle almost sweet quality. Not sure why this is a winter seasonal, but it's an excellent red IPA. — 9 years ago

Insanely hoppey aroma and taste, quite bitter and rich. — 10 years ago
Once only a draft release, now it bottles, hands down one of the best brown ales in the world, perfect in the style, roasted, toasted malts, nutty and very smooth, not over sweet, coffee and chocolate notes, but in the style, so not like a porter, easy drinking, very easy to session, if you are fan of this style, like New Castle, this is far superior — 9 years ago

Double IPA, the summer edition of former YuleSmith seasonals. The flavor imparts orange, grapefruit, and tangerine hop notes with earthy, spicy, and resinous pine undertones. A sturdy malt backbone balances out the profound hop bitterness to create a refreshingly assertive and vibrant beer that offers an unapologetically bold expression of fresh American hops. — 9 years ago

Fantastic beer. I slept on Alesmith for too long. Incredible combo of hops and chocolatey depth. Straight chocolate cake on the finish. — 10 years ago
