Delicious ale! After reading up on the profile I decided not to buy this one since I thought it might be too bitter for me but I was gifted a 1 gallon kit by a friend! I love it and definitely wish I had more. My brother says it’s the best beer he’s ever had. Only qualm is that the fizz drops didn’t really carbonate the bottle even though I made sure it was the right sailed as described on the instructions. Definitely want to try a 5 gal batch soon.

I kegged this beer last week and just tried it. This is a great ale recipe and just in time for the holidays. It has a great balance of orange and spice. The ABV came in at 7.8%. This is a great holiday sipper!

I love making this one for the holidays! Always a hit and fun to make.

This is my third time making Festivus. The options are how much mulling spices and orange peel to add. Recipe calls for half bag of each and that is good. If you like it spicy go for both bags… Only took about 1 week to ferment and it was very active, yeast. Great Ale, I’ll make this again next year, maybe two because it goes quick!

This is a very good beer. I am very pleased with the way this beer turned out. All I need now is a fireplace with a nice fire burning, Christmas snow gently falling and the knowledge that I don't have to go outside unless I want to. Oh, one other thing, I'd really like my wife and dog to be with me as well.
I've shared this beer with a few family members and everyone loves it! I did use the entire packet of spices and I really don't think it is too strong at all. It is a great winter warmer. This is the beer we will be drinking on Christmas eve!
