I love the idea of a dunkelweizen brewed with pecans (and/or candied pecans) and some peaches.

However, this beer....well....sucks. I get absolutely nothing in the pecan field. The peaches...well....I get more of an apple-y, crispness to it than peach.

I think this beer could be potentially awesome, assuming it is done right by a proper brewery. I think a dunkelweizen with a smoked pecan and subtle peach finish would be incredible. Anyone agree or do you like the beer how it is?

It is literally one of the worst beers I've ever tasted. In fact I even wrote them an email with those same thoughts (including the fact that I quite enjoy many of their other brews).

Their respond was that it was one of their best sellers and to F off (more or less).

I agree it's probably one of the worst beers I have ever drank.

Amazingly, Blue Moon's gingerbread spice holiday beer is actually pretty good.

It's pretty awful. And I like Shiner well enough. Ruby Redbird is a go-to summer beer

I sent Shiner a tactful e-mail about my sheer disappointment in the beer. I'll let you all know their response.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I enjoy it. Abita's Christmas Ale is god awful. I'd prefer chewing on a christmas tree branch instead of drinking that crap again.

Upvote. If someone can't appreciate one of the GOAT Christmas beers, then they should just stick to Zima.

Can we get roasted pecan and peach Christmas Zima or are we stuck with Jolly Ranchers?
