Old Fezziwig Ale is a tasty beer. So tasty, in fact, that I'd consider buying a six-pack of it—if it were available. And maybe it is somewhere, but I shure haven't seen it. The only way I know to get Old Fezziwig Ale is to buy the Sam Adams holiday 12-pack, which contains two Old Fezziwigs. No matter, there certainly are worse problems to have.
True to its name, it's pretty fizzy. The beer pours a reddish amber and a thin tan head forms on top. There's a malty nose with a hint of orange, which makes sense when you see the label announces its "brewed with cinnamon, ginger and orange." The ginger is the first taste you'll notice. For a moment, you'll swear you're drinking ginger beer, but without the spicy burn. The orange and cinnamon are more subtle, but if you look for them you're certainly find them lurking in the background.
If you're looking for a traditional winter beer (strong brown ale) with a little spice, this is your brew.
