Like with the bottle of Leinenkugel's Cranberry Ginger Shandy, my friends and I each got a small taste of this Blue Moon Gingerbread Spiced Ale.

I can smell the presence of spices. Unfortunately, while the beer clearly has some spice and tastes good, it's not interesting. 11:09PM PT

Gingerbread Spiced Ale

A Taste That’s Right Out of the Oven.
Limited Winter Release.

History
Not too long ago, we asked fans to suggest ingredients for a new limited winter release that would best fit the season. After lots of great suggestions and tastings with fans, Gingerbread Spiced Ale came out on top. With tastes of ginger, cinnamon, and molasses, it’s clear why they chose this wintery brew.

Available in 12-oz. bottles, Brewmaster's Sampler Pack
