REVIEW: Bell's Winter White & White Christmas

Some of my parings this Christmas season have been a little weak. Friday's was a little thin, and I'm sure  it won't be the last. Today's is a little on the obvious side. Bell's Winter White and White Christmas. I looked at Bell's other seasonal beer last year, Christmas Ale, a very tasty Scottish ale. Check out my thoughts on that one here. Bell's seems to be determined to subvert the usual expectations for Christmas beers. Their Christmas Ale is a simple sessionable Scottish ale, and Winter White is a Belgian style witbier. None of the hearty, ABV heavy, spiced ales that we're used to this time of year. But if Winter White is half as tasty as their Christmas Ale, then it absolutely will not disappoint.

REVIEW: Revolution Bottom Up Wit

So the week before last I took a look at a few beers that are new to Ohio.  This week I'm doing the same. And while we're done with Uinta, for now, these beers are from Chicago's Revolution Brewing. And joy of joys! They're in cans! Which, to be honest, at this point, I prefer to bottles outright. Today's beer is their Bottom Up Wit. Perhaps, not the optimal beer for freezing temperatures and a few inches of snow but pitchers and catchers report in just over a week so I'm feeling a bit spring-y. Bottom up clocks in at 14 IBUs and a very sessionable 5% ABV. To the beer!
