This Brrr doesn't smell much different from the Alaskan Amber I had earlier today. It does, however, taste a bit more bitter.


I guess overall, it tastes more like a pale ale or IPA. After a couple more sips, I would say this beer has a definite bitterness in it. 11:44PM PT

Josh describes Brrr as having a piney taste. 11:52PM PT

To start off New Years Eve, I opened a bottle of Brrr.

This Brrr tastes better today than the other day. It had more of a taste and only a subtle bitterness. 7:22PM PT

The last few sips of this beer were hoppy and really bitter.

On a related note, I don't detect any of the flavors mentioned in its taste description. 7:24PM PT

Afterwards, I hopped into my friend's car and he drove us over to a mutual friend's place where I had a little Alaskan Amber and some Grey Goose Vodka. After that we had a bunch of mixed drinks and champagne.

Josh and I split the last remaining bottle of Widmer Brothers Brrr from last year. Overall, I found it tasted quite strong and consequently I didn't detect any bitterness. After my final sip, I could taste the spices which lingered on my tongue.
