Exactly. Saw it today in a bar...asked what it was, and was given the bottle. Never heard of it. It's Arthur's Holiday Ale according to the label...5.6% abv. Brewed and bottled in Dublin at St. James Gate too. 11.2oz bottle so its presumably for the US market

It says Arthur's Holiday Ale on the label

No idea how old it is either. The only print says 20:04 L2229G0001 which I presume is some batch number
