May I have a beer may 2nd Victory winter cheers.

Yesterday we had a Scorcher from Brooklyn. Today we are having a Winter Cheers from Pennsylvania. Yes I am in Ohio one day it might be so hot you have the windows down driving to work thinking I wish the  air conditioner  was more effective, the next windows up wishing you had brought your coat. So if the idea of going from a summer session ale to a winter beer confuses you you have not lived here!
This beer is a good wheat beer but is given the addition of light fruit and spice flavours that make it a winter treat although my other reviews will reveal better and stronger flavoured beers, if this beer was sitting there waiting for the question "May I have a beer", I would still ask the question and drink the beer but remember this is not a session beer coming in at 6.7% ABV it might warm the cockled of your heart, it might also impair your ability to operate machinery.
