Bah Humbug: Review

Wychwood Brewery 
Bah Humbug Christmas Cheer
Oxfordshire, England


5% abv
1pt .9oz bottle
$6.99

Bah Humbug, this should be perfect for me and I bought two bottles to sit back and enjoy.  I personally don’t care for the commercialism of the holiday season.  Let me buy you a gift so then, you can give me a gift – oh crap!  I don’t want a gift – please donate to a good charity.  

Give to the Humane Society of Michigan
I came from there
The thing I just don’t like is that so many people who can’t afford the spending spree of Christmas are out there spending beyond their means.  Also, people are just out there spending on gifts not in the idea of Christmas but, in the name of commercialism and with the idea that I bought you something why didn’t you buy me something.  Give it a try next Christmas – don’t buy any gifts to those adults you exchange gifts with and see what they say.  After they bitch you out then tell them you donated your money to the Make a Wish Foundation or to the American Red Cross or whatever you choose.  I’m done venting – let’s move on with the Bah Humbug review. 

Appearance: a very good looking mahogany body with a half finger, if that, light tan head that leaves no lacing; fairly aggressive pour


Aroma: not much; light toasted malts; hint of caramel;

Flavors: light toasted malts (non-descript); some bitterness on the mid and late; dry spice;  

Mouthfeel: moderate carbonation; nice fizzy feel on the palate; thin; lacks character; no depth; seems like a light toasted lager;

To the Point: it’s all packaging; fun label; nothing on the inside; there are much better Christmas Ales out there; here is my point about Christmas spending – I ‘gave’ 7 bucks for this ale and it gave me 2 bucks worth back – I’m mad now.  Sound familiar, you bought Aunt Millie a fifty dollar gift and that old bag only bought you a twenty dollar gift – Bitch.  Bah Humbug on the Bah Humbug. Damn, I have one more bottle to get rid of


As for today’s College Bowl games (only 2 of them): take Pittsburg and the 5-1/2 pts over Bowling Green and take Northern Illinois to cover the big 1-1/2 pts over Utah State.
