Widmer Brothers Brewing Company's Brrr Seasonal Ale

Never been impressed with Widmer. Bought this as a single a while back and have been avoiding it in favor of others, but I figure, what the hell.

Pours a slightly hazy amber with a quickly dissipating tan head. Throws off a nice smell though, slightly peppery with some alcohol. So far, better than expected and seemingly on type.

Seems like a repurposed amber. Pretty big hops bite for a winter warmer, and although there seem to be some spices they don't really come out as much as they should until well into the aftertaste.

I like it, but it's a better amber than a winter warmer.
