There is something inherently wrong with the American dream when I must pay a substantial amount to the buyer of the house I have owned for the past three years before I can sell that house. I am, to a large extent, disgusted that the free-wheeling capitalist system we appear to tolerate, has no criminal sanctions that can be bought against the bankers who were the engines driving the financial morass that is responsible for the debacle this country - and perhaps most of the Western world - finds itself in. We, the American people, lose money. The fat-cat bankers continue to take home million dollar bonuses. What's wrong with this picture?
OK, off my soap box. The web site for Bells is: http://bellsbeer.com/
The bottle says "A seasonally nuanced wheat ale that is both stylish and refreshing". the web site says "Taking its cues from Belgian-style white ales, Bell's Winter White Ale offers a lighter yet abundantly flavorful alternative to the traditional heavy winter warmers. Fermented with a Belgian ale yeast, this blend of barley & wheat malts yields a mixture of clove and fruity aromas, all without the use of any spices. Deliberately brewed to retain a cloudy appearance, Bell's Winter White Ale is a beer for embracing winter. abv 5.0%, Original gravity 1.052"
A very pleasant drink. Very cloudy when poured into the glass and a slight hint of fruit in the nose. I didn't smell the cloves, perhaps because my memory of cloves is from the clove cigarettes that are popular in Indonesia. The beer had a nice body and a pleasant mouth feel, it was easy to drink and left a nice aftertaste. Good drinkability.
