[Locals] Beer Tasting!

[vindonnus]

We have another beer tasting this Friday, per usual, and we'll have beer there, per usual.

This Friday's theme is "Seasonal Ales" (namely, winter seasonal ales) and I'll have Bell's White Winter Ale and Pyramid Snow Cap Winter Warmer AleI'll note that these are technically two different types of beer. I'd just never heard of a "Winter Warmer Ale

Beers!

Snow Cap Winter Warmer Ale - Quite bitter and malty on first taste, but it tapers off with an excellent (read: thick) mouth feel and a good finish with coffee after-taste. It's definitely a dark beer, in contrast to the Bell's (whoops!). I like it, but not tremendously. I'd give it a B (common score for good beers).

White Winter Ale - A bit more tangy and citrus-y than the pyramid, as one would expect from a much paler/whiter ale. It was also a good deal sweeter and thinner (in terms of mouth feel). I liked it as well, it's the Porom to the other beer's Palom. I'd also give this beer a B.
