Old Man Winter poured a clear, light brown color with a finger width, off white head.  The aroma was hoppy with light malt underneath and hints of raisins.  The body is thinner, with malt up front, and a faint sweetness.  A crisp, hoppy bitterness comes in towards the middle, leading to a lingering hop finish that leaves a very pleasant dryness on the palate.  Overall this is a very good sessional winter beer.  It is easy drinking and well balanced.  Winter seasonals are not normally hoppy and there is nothing overly bold or daring but I like this offering from Southern Tier. 

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
