Commercial Description:
A winter seasonal ale that blends three varieties of slow roasted malts and multiple hops to deliver exquisite aroma and taste. It's that time of year again - the weather cools and our seasonal ale is here. Blue Moon Winter Ale captures all the season's subtle colors and complexity. Start your own traditions and toast the season with this winter-spiced amber ale.

Editor's Note: after a recipe change in 2007, now known as Full Moon.

Having to smuggle this one from Denver and Chicago, put the effort in on this one. Perhaps the best flavored micro I have ever drank. The taste is sweet, slightly nutty and is incredibly smooth. This is a beer to sit down with and share with friends.

Bottle. Deep amber in color with a tan head. Smelled of nuts and slightly caramel. Lightly carbonated and tastes of mild vanilla. Fantastic beer! A few local establishments even ran out around the holidays!!

This beer poured a copper color with a light brown head that was two fingers high. The smell was of roasted nuts. The mouthfeel is a mild carbonation and smooth. The taste is of cinnamon and nuts that is freaking good. It is very easy to drink and I will drink a lot of them. Open bar dude!

From the bottle purchased at a Madison, WI liquor store. This was a very, very good beer. Nice toasted bread in the nose. I smelled sweet biscuits as well. The flavor is what really stood out to me. At first I thought it was caramel, but after a few more tastes I decided it was butterscotch. It’s not overpowering, but instead seemed like a really interesting and bold change of pace from your typical winter beers. I’m not a fan of the standard Blue Moon ale, but you can place their Winter Ale next to their Pumpkin Ale as my favorite Blue Moon beers. I would recommend this beer to anyone who doesn’t like standard beer or is eager to sample new and different flavors in beer.

Good mouth feel little thickness, molasses smell, with a syupy taste. A very blunt flavor with maple syrup finish, best way to describe would be waffle crisp cereal with hint of beer.
