Winter Witter poured a clear, golden yellow color with a thumb width, small bubbled white head.  The nose has plenty of orange and spices with faint malt aromas in the background.  There are some orange notes in the body but are hidden a bit by the spices.  The carbonation rises a bit on the backend at the same time the hops start to show through.  The finish is a bit awkward, its almost lager-like and does not seem to fit the style of beer.  Overall, this is an above average beer.  It has its moments, but there are just to many different parts that do not work well together.  An interesting idea to go with a witbier for Winter but ultimatly there is no wow factor.    

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
