| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Dec 14, 2007 Clear, amber color. SOmewhat floral aroma but nothing special to it. A litle bit fizzy in the mouth. This is an ale that taste like a lager or a lager reminiscent of an Ale. Not a stand out but drinkeable. swoopjones (1878), Buffalo, New York, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 12, 2007 Bottle @ Coles Buffalo NY. Decent British Winter Warmer. Still like Youngs better. Sweet malt taste. Light amber brown red color. Sweet caramel malt nose. Minimal bitterness. Nice Winter session beer. lb4lb (2011), Austin, Texas, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 7/20 | Dec 12, 2007 Pours copper and clear. Smell is metallic and skunky malt. Tart malt flavor, with no noticeable wintry spices. Sweaty, musty lager like flavor. Slightly creamy and full body for the style, but not impressive overall. Drinkable, but too musty, doughy and stagnant flavored to be enjoyable for me. Somewhat poor example of a style I’m not particularly fond of. BigMilly8 (374), Holiday, Florida, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 11, 2007 From bottle : Pours clear and dark amber, with minimal head. Fruits and malt dominate the aroma. Flavor is very sweet, fruits and a nice malt backbone. Palate is oily, and it is pretty thick bodied, but not super thick. There is no real alcohol present anywhere in the beer. Middle of the road brew but drinkable. cspring (14), Maineville, Ohio, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 11, 2007 550 ml bottle - pours deep amber with a full tan head. Nice aroma and starts a bit hoppy but has a smooth finish. Nice beer. yarry (370), Waterdown, Ontario, Canada

Pours a dark orange, like a deep red tea. Has a nice tan head, and an aroma of sweet malt, orange and mild spice. Taste is hoppy initially but then breaks into a very mellow malt smoothness. Nice beer, not what I expected of the winter ale. mcnally (114), Burbank, California, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 9, 2007 Bottle. Clean amber pour. Malty aroma wth some hops. Somewhat thinner palate than I was expecting. Flavor was slightly bitter, weak, and seemed closer to an English standard session beer than a winter warmer. A bit disappointing considering the excellence of their other beers. ScoWRee (276), Phila, Pennsylvania, USA
