This winter wheat beer uses dark malting to provide subtle toasty notes. We then single-hop and dry-hop this beer with Citra hops from our friend Brad’s farm. Interesting pineapple notes from the Citra hop provide a stark contrast to the toasty notes in the body. An engaging and sessionable Winter Seasonal.

APPEARANCE: amber color and clear. medium ivory head with good retention. TASTE: medium-low hop flavor with notes of grapefruit. low malty background, somewhat sweet, with a very faint toffee character. medium-high bitterness with an almost dry and bitter finish.

Flaska från SB. Vinteröl 2016. Mörk färg för stilen, medelhögt skum. Doft av tropisk frukt, persika, aprikos, kolaremmar tallskott. Mjuk rund och lätt kropp, torr för en amber med fruktig humlesmak och lätt beska. Ralativt komplex för att var så lätt med lite kola och kåda i bakgrunden. Trevlig.

Bottle from Ttal Wine. Pours brown with a small head. Aroma is rye, similar to a black IPA. Pot in the aroma too. Flavor is watery coffee, some citrusy hops. Not as good as the aroma.

Bottled, from Systembolaget. Clear dark brown, mid sized head. Tangerine aroma, Mid sweet with light-medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Toffee and tangerine. Mid bitter finish. Contains no wheat malt according to label, so this beer must have changed over time. Decent amber ale.
