I'm looking to make from an extract a Christmas Beer which I can give to family. After doing some searching I think I have two directions to go in. First is a spiced approach, I guess akin to mulled wine flavours with the addition of Cloves, Ginger, Cinnamon, Orange Peel, Vanilla and Honey. The second direction I've seen for a Christmas Beer is along the lines of a Bavarian weizen with the addition of a little citrus peel and a tablespoon each of coriander and chamomile for depth.
I get the feeling that the first Spiced Beer would be a bit of a novelty and after one you'd probably give it a miss. The second style might suit our Christmas in summertime and make it a little more drinkable. What do you think? Does anyone have any expierence in this, tips, recipes even?!!!
