Commercial Description:
Brewed for the winter season this ale is a snowy golden color. Lighter than most winters but more drinkable. Look for a massive spicy nose and honey malt middle and a lasting spiced dry finish.

on tap at Defiant. Hazy blonde in color. Aroma: yeasty with some phenolics, vanilla and citrus. Taste is citrus, bready and yeasty, with some phenolics. Medium bodied with some light malty sweetness. Finishes spicy.

Poured a hazy golden color with a small, tight, white creamy head, that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of coriander, citrus fruits, vanilla, and light toast. Taste of coriander, cardamom, vanilla, light honey, citrus fruits, and light candy sugar in the finish.

Looks and smells like grapefruit and mango juice. Light carbonated with a sweet candy (cherry?) flavor.
