I'm trying one right now called Weyerbacher Winter Ale. Nice label w/ a
snowman but the beer has a bitter taste, almost like a bad light beer
and no outstanding trait except unpleasant.

Any more so far? I'm wondering about the Sam Adams Winter mixer 12 pack.

ive always like sam adams winter lager...its a nice malty strong
ale...but the mixer is just 2 of every kind...i like sammy cream stout
and octoberfest as well. we got beer up here in Maine
by Gearys called Hampshire Ale...7.9% it was a winter ale that was so
popular that they made it year round.
i havent tried the weyerbacher...i do remember liking their wheat
beer..
im writing an artical on beer now and ill soon be adding my favorite
beers now im done the intro section...ill be sure to add some winters
in there.

Samual Smith Winter Welcome is an excellent nut brown ale if you can
afford the price (4$ a bottle 20oz)\

i take it your in the PA area? Stoudts brewery always has some good
stuff

Yeah... You guys should go there to read stuff like this:

When you visit a brew pub, it is usually ales that they are brewing. There
are Stouts and Porters (both black beers often with coffee overtones) IPA
(Indian pale ales get their name because Britain had to use extra HOPS, a
natural preservative, to help it survive the long boat journeys from England
to India) Pale Ales, Amber Ales (which are more color characteristics than
flavor)......and many countries produces flavors of both Lagers and Ales of
the same style that tastes ENTIRELY different depending on the ingredients.
The Belgians for instance take great pride in isolating their own yeast
strains that give Belgian beer its distinctive flavor. Their fruit beers
(called LAMBICS) are left to the wild yeasts in the open air that can only
be produced from the specific region of Belgium and limited areas of France.
the beers are the true 'champagne' of beers as they taste like fresh fruit
soda and often has a sourish flavor.!! The Belgian strong ales are called
DUBBEL, TRIPPEL and sometimes even QUADRUPPELS!!(referring to their strength
and malt)The Belgian Monks drink these strong 'Abbey ales' as liquid bread
while fasting.Fruit beers in the U.S taste different than other countries
because the (I have heard..) FDA passed a law that U.S. commercial breweries
had to use fruit syrups/extracts instead of fresh fruit...im still looking
for a source for this..

Amazing what you can learn on the Web.

Haha - so is it an ale or a lager?

Samual Smith Winter Welcome is an excellent nut brown ale if you can
afford the price (4$ a bottle 20oz)

Well, I don't think Winter Welcome is a nut brown ale - I think they
classify it as a winter warmer.

Also, it's notorious for being lightstruck, thanks to those stupid clear
bottles. I gave up on it, because it was always nasty and skunky. --

And lucky for us that we won't accidentally blunder into such a ramble in a

Me too!!!1!!11!

Seriously, it's been years since I've had a good one,
and I do try one every few years.

Right, so it's not just the batches exported to Switzerland that are
sunstruck...

At the minute I'm sipping a Young's Christmas Pudding Ale.
Surprisingly pleasant, not too thick, sweet or strong but quite intense
for its strength (5.5% ABV), and the yuletide flavours used venture away
from the beaten track : marzipan, coconut, some dried fruit (prunes, and
the like), on top of pretty subdued (but subtle) spices.
The general impression is it's "glowing inside", tough I suspect you
have to be in the mood for it.

So I wouldn't put that one in the "worst" list, for one.

Cheers !

Laurent

Haven't tried that one yet, sounds reasonably interesting. I'm fonder
of Young's Winter Warmer than most people I know, it's a glass of
liquidized toffee and butterscotch. Me like.

As for Samuel Smith's, I've given up. I doubt I'll ever buy one of
their beers again. --
