Today I'm drinking Full Sail Wassail brewed by Full Sail Brewing in Hood River, Oregon. The label says this is "12 fluid ounces of ridiculously tasty winter ale concocted by [their] massive brewforce of 47". The neck label also shows a small photo of Mt. Hood in Winter.
Caramel and fruity aroma with molassess, too. Roasty, toasty and quite malty flavors right in the beginning. There is, however, a distinct orange citrus right behind that. Caramel and some nuttiness also add some additional flavors. The 7.0% alcohol does show up to give a little warmth and also dry things out a lot. Throughout the entire experience, there is a sharp little bitterness on the back of my palate that I find very strange and totally awkward. I also don't find any of the flavors working very well together or complementing each other in the slightest. I guess it's an OK beer at best. Not horrible, but I'd make a midnight beer run for something else, even if this were chilling in my fridge.
