H.C. Berger Snowman Ale

Formerly brewed at H.C. Berger Brewing Co.
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Fort Collins, Colorado USA

There is nothing special about this beer. Except for the label, which I really like. Not as bad as your average American macro brew, but not a whole lot better. It is sort of crisp with a slight citrus twist.

Very disappointing, tasted like an american macrobrew, not like an ale at all

this is an ale? sure didn’t seem like one. tasted more like a really bland pilsner - very little hops, very very light (the name ’snowman - an ale’ kind of fooled me into thinking that this was going to be a winter warmer - what a fool I am!). The taste was just way too light and nearly non-existent. when it warmed up a little, at least it had some funky taste to it. just not very good at all.

I picked this bottle up by mistake, thinking it was a winter ale. its really a light tasting, warm weather brew comparable to better American macrobrew lagers. Might be good with asian food. On the whole though its undistinguished - faintly hoppy aroma, a touch sweet, more of a thirst quencher than a palate pleaser.

This is the first H.C. Berger beer I have tried and it is wonderful. Very smooth and refreshing. Pleasantly mellow flavor with little or no aftertaste. One of my favorite American beers.

Very strange almost green hue; thin head; a little spice in the nose. Thin palate, mild hops. Thin citrus flavors, almost nothing there. Bit of grassy notes at the end.

A session beer, no surprises, nothing special

Best Berger beer I’ve had so far, snappy, summery, and flavorful.
