The winter beer season is one of my favorite times to be living in the Pac NW. Big, malty beverages combined with cooler temperatures to them in. The winter beers go a long way towards taking my mind off the fact that it's drizzling yet again outside. I used to be much "tougher" and would go mountain biking but I seem to have developed an affinity towards the couch lately.
Anyway, the winter beer season started for me with the last three bottles of 2009 Jubelale that I had in the beer closet. Aged out really fine and make me look forward to the two bottles of 2009 Cabin Fever that I have.
New beer's being the main reason for this posting, the 2010 winter beer season started off for me with a Pyramid Snow Cap. I've been a fan of the Snow Cap for awhile now. It's always been a good solid winter beer for me. The 2010 version seems to be a little lighter in color than I remember. I seem to recall a more reddish brown hue. Nice malty nose to the initial pour but that seems to disappear. Body seems to be a little thinner too. Still a nice beer but for me personally I think it's a notch or two down from what it used to be.
Hopefully I'll figure out how this blogging thing works and can add some sort of rating list. For now, I'm looking forward to the next 2010 winter beer.
