Old Man (Winter Ale)
Pours a deep, dark orange with an admirably sticky head and comparable lacing. Aroma is of sweet fruit and light citrus. Pretty mellow but it definitely let's you know that the hops are there. Taste is a step up from the moderate hop character, overflowing with citrus. Like taking a mouthful of fruit salad. No real outstanding bitterness other than a subtle tart finish. Light to medium body, which was unexpected. I didn't know much about old ales when I bought this but the description lead me to the it would be significantly more dextrinous. Overall a very pleasant beer to drink. The alcohol isn't a problem at all; it really feels like a sesions beer and it's loaded with appealing but not an overly unique or delicious hop character.
