guzzler67 (1272), Hanover, Maryland, USA Jul 31, 2004 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. boto (1319), Granby, Connecticut, USA Sep 8, 2003 Updated: Sep 9, 2003Draught: 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! Hopistotle420 (1178), Amherst, Massachusetts, USA Sep 7, 2003 Draught at HolyokeBrew Fest: Poured a hazy golden hue. Yeasty malt nose. Sweet, pale malts, light to medium bodied, finishing yeasty with pleasant bitterness. spicedad2 (78), Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 16, 2003 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. urbnhautebourg (972), Annapolis, Maryland, USA Sep 19, 2002 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. HighGravity (890), Baltimore, Maryland, USA Aug 29, 2002 (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. fuchebu (144), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 3, 2002 nice bite in the finish, lots of character, good summer brew.
