Bottle. Was not impressed. Color was a deep gold. Some, but not great head. Taste was weak, straw, not much hops. Aroma was watery and hay like.
Dark gold pour. Thick foam. Bitter hops and zest palate. Easy carbonation. Bitter zest/pith finish

12 oz bottle of 5.7% ABV, labelled as Big Moose Winter Ale. Poured into a Leffe chalice on 14th Dec 2017 at my daughters place in California. Slight haze to the old gold/amber body, smooth off-white blanket of foam for a head. Malty, semi-sweet front with a lingering hop bitter finish. Almost liked it, OK, I did like it.

Draught @ Albion. Clear rich golden yellow with small foamy off-white head, very faint citrus aroma, medium carbonation, mildly bitter caramel malt taste with little citrus flavor, thin body, long medium bitter finish. Not bad though lacking a bit of character.
