»Blue Moon and their Winter Ale

As the standard-issue Blue Moon has plenty of citrus flavour and a spicy nose, I wondered what their seasonal Winter Ale would taste like. It has a much heavier sweetness, but also a tart finish that is not altogether pleasant. I made my way through about three-quarters of the pint before returning to the regular ale, which is a pleasant accompaniment to bar food and a football game. As for the beer's uncertain provenance: I should have been tipped off by the cut-rate models parading around with coupons for Coors Light and entries for a raffle to win a Coors Light football. Back at the home-front I am enjoying a tallboy of another fine Lagunitas limited-release, the Cappucino Stout.

Thus: I have been drinking Coors along with the odd plate of wings and spicy fries at the local bar.
