Bright amber appearance with a large white head. Modest nose that imparted a doughy aroma. Up front, the taste was malty with a touch of caramel. Developed some hoppiness as it finished. Light-to-medium body that was well carbonated. Not sure the "winter" seasonal label is appropriate, as it is brewed and released in mid-summer.

Draught: Sampled at the CTRiver Brewers Festival. The beer pours a hazy golden color. Fairly typical malty, yeast nose. Good, balanced taste, but did I detect a hint of clove in there? A bit of bitterness in the aftertaste. Intriguing taste. I may have to try this again later. I thought this was good!

I'm not a huge fan of german lagers, but this was a very good, fresh tasting german lager. It was a hot day in Baltimore when I sampled this one, and it hit the spot. It has many of the typica helles (odd) flavors of licorice.

Sampled at the brewery. Probably their least satisfying offering. In previous years, this was malty and swell. This year’s batch hadn’t much flavor at all.

(Served from a growler) Very malty and light. The palate is dominated by malt. The beer finishes smooth with a touch of hops. Well crafted and yummy.
