Bell’s Brewery, Inc.
Comstock, Michigan, USA
5% abv
12 oz bottle
Seasonal: November and December
I always called this one ‘snowberon’ after their summer
wheat called Oberon. I am sure I am not
the only one that called it that.
Anyways, I cannot believe I have never reviewed this ale. I am sure I buy a six pack every winter since
this beer came out. It is a nice light
refreshing winter seasonal. When I get
tired of the dark malty and nutmeg/cinnamon spiced winter ales this Winter Ale
is ready to cleans the palate.
Appearance: hazy yellow-golden body with a nice white
head; get that nice wheat and yeast off the bottom of the bottle – this ale
should be good and cloudy – don’t pour it clean
Aroma: pleasing clove, yeast and wheat
Flavors: good dusty golden harvest wheat; spice with a dose
of clove; herbal biscuit
Mouthfeel: fresh clean wheat coats the palate; low-moderate
carbonation; pleasing spice – not overpowering; to me it is a nice balance of
wheat and spice; refreshing; light;
To the Point: truly a refreshing Winter Ale; perfect pick
for the holiday party; easy to pair with any type of holiday food
As for today's College Bowl Game; Take Boise State and the 2-1/2 pts over Oregon State
