Old Man (Winter Ale)
Picked up another Southern Tier I have not tried yet and opened on St. Patty's Day... A: Good color for a winter ale. Medium copper with no head. S: Grapefruit, raisin, and other dark fruits upfront. Middle of port. Not much on the end. Good. T: Piney citrus upfront. Grapefruit bitterness in the middle with slight hops on the backend. Decent, but not too much special going on here. M: Not bad. Carbonation feels in a good spot in the mouthfeel. Maybe just a hint too much water on this. D: Goes down super easy. Very good for a winter ale in this category. All in all, this is a decent brew. Not much special going on so definitely not worth going out of your way for. If you're favorite brew happens to be winter warmers, than maybe give this one a whirl.
