Vinter is said to be a crossover between a Strong American Amber and an Old Ale. It features generous amounts of Perle, Citra and Cascade, making it more hoppy than the beer traditionally brewed before Christmas in Norway.
The beer pairs well with heavier meat dishes, casseroles and traditional Christmas food. It is also excellent enjoyed on its own, ideally in front of the fireplace on a cold winters night.
Editor’s note: Vinter was first brewed on contract in the fall of 2013 at Lervig Aktiebryggeri in Stavanger, but moved to 7 Fjell when the brewery was up and running.

23.10.2013, tap @ Naboen:
Nice creamy longlasting head. Aroma is slightly fruity, winegum crocodiles, caramel malts, malt candy, hints of hops and butterscotch. Taste is slightly harsh, wet leafs, caramel malts, harsh hops, pine needles, burnt caramel, cardboard, grass. Longlasting bitterness, both oily and dry mouthfeel at the same time, strange. Not my cup of tea.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours an almost clear reddish amber with a beige head. Massive, spicy Citra aroma. Rich body, lowish carbonation, thick caramel and roast with massive hops and a rather bitter finish. Rather unique and very different. 161113

Bottled. A hazy red beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of spices, chocolate, citrus fruits, hops, malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, alcohol, chocolate, and citrus fruits, leading to a bitter finish.
