Feb 24, 2007 I’m not sure what to call this one...doesn’t seem like an ESB to me. Moderate malt sweetness, lightly roasted caramel and toffee. The lightly floral hopping is refreshingly bracing and probably what they meant by the "winter" warmer. Alcohol is very modest and virtually invisible. Decent sessionable beer.

Feb 22, 2007 The second time New Belgium has made this beer brought a more malty beer with less hoppiness. This beer is better balanced then in 05-06. Great finnish, perfect for sipping while outside next to a fire on a clod winters night.

Feb 18, 2007 This beer pours a light amber color with a diminishing head and decent lacing. You can smell and taste the grapefruit. It’s a decent beer from New Belgium brewing.

Feb 17, 2007 Not bad, not bad at all. Very heavy grapefruit taste with similarities to IPA present. The nose is strong, and has that ultra hoppy property which led me to believe this had more in common with IPA than bitters. The brassy color of this beer was pleasant. I recommend this beer for those who want to try something very different.

Feb 11, 2007 yellow body with cream, and good lace all the way down. A cross style attempt. Not complex as a winter ale, more of a hoppy ale more than a bitter. Carbonation on the high side. Balance like an English IPA, with some citrus and other fruit. I
