This beer is damn frisky, like a cat that should annoy the heck out of you but wins you over with its utter persistence and general adorableness - sweet and ballsy, but only when it needs to be. Beneath the attractive floral nose lives a thriving riot of heated hops, gravely malts and samurai sword sharp bursts of acidic tartness. This is a very pretty, well balanced, warming and yes, 'wintery' beer - an easy buy for folks of all palates.
