Commercial Description:
From the breweries of Colorado and the Pacific Northwest comes the winter tradition of a hearty brown ale that finishes with a strong hoppy taste. Made with a blend of Crystal Malts, and balanced with Centennial and Columbus hops, the frostbite was aggressively brewed to warm the beer drinkers in the southern Appalachian Mountains. Even if it’s not cold where you are, you will certainly enjoy this distinctively bold ale. After the change in NC ABV laws, this beer was reformulated as High Gravity Frostbite.

Had at Woods on South, now closed. Red pour, Pretty big and malty. Kind of like a hoppy Christmas cookie. One of their better brews I’ve had.

Tasted on a recent visit to Woods on South in Charlotte, NC. Pours a dark amber color with thin off-white/tan head. Aroma is hoppy, sweet, malty, hints of grain and grass. Flavor is much of the same, a little sweet a little bitter. Generally light to medium-bodied without a lingering finish.
