Blue Point Winter Ale

From the bottle, pours a clear amber with visible rising carbonation bubbles leading to a foamy off-white head that leaves a nice lacing on the glass. Aromas of sweet malts. Tastes malty, with some bitters. Tasty, but finishes of bitter grassy hops. Not a pleasant aftertaste.

Bottle at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Amber with rich white head. Soapy caramel aroma. Clean caramel flavour, notes of oranges and grass. Carmel and cedarwood in the short finish.

12oz bottle shared thanks to weeare138. Bottle notched best before April 06. Poured a medium and clear amber color with a very small sized off white head. Aromas of citrus, caramel and light cardboard. Tastes of citrus and caramel. Body on the watery/thin side.

Thanks to weeare138. Pours a rusty orange amber with a small off white head. Aroma of sweet malts, picking up some lighter hops. Flavors of the same. Nothing too breakthrough but a middle of the road Amber Ale.

Bottle @ Oliver Twist, Stockholm
Rich white head. Fruity lager aroma, almost like a Czech. Rich in CO2. I think I could taste a bit of rice in this brew, both in aroma and taste. Slightly thin body and a bit oxidized perhaps.

Bottle shared with GregClow, tupalev & jerc -- courtesy of tupalev. Pours a clear dark amber with an average size diminishing off-white head. Very mild, fairly well balanced aroma of sweet malt and hops. Ridiculously mild flavour follows the aroma and adds a bit of spice and fruit but just isn’t that good. Medium bodied. Just plain average.

This is a good beer! Nice and hppy, very full flavored for its strength. Pretty low alcohol for a winter ale, though.

Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, blankboy, tupalev & jerc - courtesy of tupalev. (My notes are pretty sketchy on this one - it was pretty late in the tasting...) Amber-brown with a small head. Aroma and flavour are both nice and well-balanced, with a good sweetness and fresh hops, bit it didn’t really say "winter" to me.
