What Jonathan's Been Drinking (on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd nights before Christmas)...

T'was one chill nite this story begins, when a small 16.9 0z bottle gave me a grin. A Warm Welcome it offered for $6.99, with nutty brisk browness I couldn't deny. Amber goodness with a nice frosty head, it tickles your nose as you put it to bed. Caramel malts with a light hoppy mix, makes for a great n'igh whilst this brew's in your midst.

As the nights approach Christmas much magic ensues, like the tale of'n IPA that came into view. I picked up a bottle and from the label heard snickers, claiming that I - yes, I - wore nancy boy knickers. Outraged I glanced and saw a small pointy hat; was it a rat? No indeed, t'was a Bad Elf who poured a shimmery gold fluid into my glass. With a small but firm head t'was balanced indeed but a bit highly hopped, it took a nip at my nose and made me crinkle my toes. No doubt a grand brew for just $6.99... I think tonight this one'll have to be mine!

A boring cold night I couldn't decide what to drink, when the name of a friend gave my mind a quick clink. A pink little elephant with whom I'm acquainted, Delirium Noel, with its Christmas hat painted. A lovely Strong dark Ale with a mild sweet finish, that by the end of the bottle'll have you feeling quite gid-dish. It's fruity demeanor and car-a-mel tones, bring all the right flavors that warm to the bone.

I can't promise I'll be so rhyme-y in future, but I hope you are feeling the holiday 'spirit', too and will tell me... whaddaya think of my effort?!
