Full Sail Wassail:
Hello all and welcome back to your one stop shop for seasonal beer reviews and since we just happen to be in the winter season, let’s review a winter beer.  Full Sail has already graced this winter beer wonder land with a winter seasonal beer that is a part of their Session line and thrilled me about as much as ice water on a cold day.  Today we look at their regular line’s Wassail beer, a winter warmer beer with a nice respectable 7% ABV and a surprisingly good taste.  The beer pours a dark brown color with a nice thick off white head that leaves a good amount of lacing and a nose of candied apples and roasted malts.  The beer’s initial flavor is a strong roasted malt with a burnt sugar flavor that shows up again in the back end while the mid tongue shows a mellow but distinct sweetness of sweet red apples.  This beer surprised the heck out of me by being this good, I really didn’t expect much from this one and was ready to just write a standard review of a standard beer but I was wrong, way wrong.   See, this is why I love winter beers, they have so much more of a flavor potential then any other seasonal beer out there and what they have to choose from is pretty agreeable as a beer taste profile.  Do yourself a favor and try this one out, I think you’ll be pleased.
