Wachusett Brewing Company – Winter Ale
Wachusett Winter Ale
THE POUR: Wachusett Winter Ale pours a lightly clouded, red-amber.
THE AROMA: A mild sweet malt smell, with light spiced hops. This beer is labeled as a “Classic Scotch Ale” with little spices. As you would expect, the aroma is that of a classic ale. Nothing out of the norm here.
THE TASTE: Smooth, and malty mouthfeel, with light spice and mild hops. This is a classic ale – not too spiced up as in other Christmas/Holiday seasonals.
THE DECISION: Maybe a little too ordinary – yet highly enjoyable. This is a great holiday go-to, when you are in the mood for a mellow, yet full-bodied Winter Ale.
THE GRADE: B+
