Widmer Brothers BRRR
The beer holds a head and has a nice colour. The flavour has some caramel and malt. It puts me in mind of a brown ale, but with a twist. A nice change, but not as festive as some of i'ts competitors.So I would say its ok, but not my first choice for winter refreshment.
Now the official word on it.
BRRR Seasonal Ale
Bold Hop Flavor, Malty Sweet Finish
Warm Up with a Cold One. Or Two. Our winter red ale is the
perfect treat, naughty or nice. The deep red body fills your glass and a
citrusy hop aroma fills your nose. Then caramel and chocolate malts
reward you with a perfectly balanced, malty sweet flavor and velvety
finish.

Next is Samuel Adams Hopology series Double Agent IPL. A light colour, so I was surprised by it's initial hoppiness. However there was a slight almost metal taste to it. Better than some Sam Adams items, but hoping the Hopology collection has more to offer.
Official description below, so until we meet again, I bid you taste.
