Beer of the Week

The beer: Ice Age Winter Lager

Brewed by: Antietam Brewery, Hagerstown, Maryland

Description (from Untappd): "Beautiful amber color with a light, fluffy head. The aroma of toffee deceptively hints at a malt bomb, but on the pallet this beer is a well-balanced crusher with a soft, creamy body, and just the right amount of hop bitterness."

Would I buy it again? It's a solid, malty lager, which I honestly wasn't expecting. I feel like when you see "winter" affixed to a beer style, it usually means spiced with stuff like cinnamon, orange, or ginger. However, I don't think it passes the Yuengling test. It's just not quite good enough to justify the extra price.
