Grade: B
Appearance: Pours a somewhat cloudy white orange with a soda-like off-white head that reduces quickly and leaves traces of lacing.
Smell: Classic floral and fruity Belgian yeast with some honey, light caramel and lemon citrus.
Taste: Yeasty with some wheat and malt sweetness. Simple, light flavors of hop bitterness and lemony citrus. Finish is slightly dry and yeasty with some hops and lemon.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate, tickling carbonation on the tongue.
Drinkability: Strong. This is a lighter and refreshing Belgian style ale. The yeast is there, but in moderation and the lemon notes balance it out.
Overall: I enjoyed this brew. Its nothing extraordinary, but the flavors are clean, distinguished and in balance. I would easily buy this again when I come across it. I'm not sure why it is a "Winter Reserve" because I can drink this all year, especially in the summer.
