Bell's Winter White Ale


Bell’s Winter White Ale is a belgian styles white ale. It is advertised as “a lighter yet abundantly flavorful alternative to the traditional heavy winter warmers.”


Winter White Ale pours a cloudy pale orange color with one finger’s worth of white head. It has a nice orange spice aroma. This ale has flavors notes of wheat, citrus, and coriander, with a hint of sweet spices. Medium body and nicely carbonation - this ale has a crisp refreshing quality. The finish is pleasantly tart and fizzy. Ends with a silkiness on the pallet that retains some lingering flavor notes.


Pairings/ Recommendations


While this ale is crafted as a winter brew, it has elements that remind me of summer beers. While it is not as light as most summer offerings, it’s heavy enough to comfort a winter thirst. That being said, the recommendation for this one is easy. Winter blues got you down? Tired of another sunless cold gloomy day? Then pour yourself a glass of Bell's Winter White Ale. It'll sooth your winter tired mind and remind you that the lazy crazy hazy days of summer are not that far away.


Cheers!
