Holiday Ale # 1 – Jubelale from Deschutes

Deschutes_Jubelale_12oz_Labels_OL

Deschutes Brewery has been adorning their Jubeale labels with new artwork each year.  They also seem to be releasing it sooner and sooner.  Hence it is first in line because it might be off shelves for a January seasonal soon.  I’m kidding, I think.

Here is the brewery description, “Warm spiciness and tradition grace this bold winter ale. Intriguing, layered flavors unfold to reveal chicory, dried fruit and toffee notes with a hoppy kick to finish. The deep garnet color pairs perfectly with holiday celebrations.
