Tasted like the citrus thing but tasted like grapefruit. Yuck. Too bitter! Still likin' Blue Moon so far. Man that Guiness the Germans brought me was good. They got it back again at my local place here but... I may as well taste around don't you think? I like a good dark beer but I guess I'm a sweetie (and no giggling)and more of a refreshing beer kinda guy. I don't know if that's hoppy or barley...don't care. $8+ a six pack has affected my experimintation I must say. I did try some Long Hammer. Tasted like the citrus thing but tasted like grapefruit.

Two other current seasonals that aren't overwhelmed by nutmeg and sugarplums are the Magic Hat Roxy Rolles and the Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale.

All of their beer is made under contract at various breweries around the country. Chances are that the recipe is the same, but a different brewery made this year's production run. Another possible explanation is that the ingredients change from season to season. That's where the "master" in brewmaster comes into play - making beer taste the same from ever changing ingredients. There are several wannabee beer marketing companies like Sam Adams - Pete's Wicked is another. Cheers - BD FYI, Sam Adams doesn’t own a brewery.

I agree with you on the SA Winter Ale. Just doesn't seem as good as I remebered. “If it’s balls, please don’t tell me.” – funny and wise.
