Schell's Snowstorm 2013 Belgian Style Golden Ale

This is a seasonal release from the August Schell Brewery of New Ulm, Minnesota. It uses a different recipe each year. This year it is a 7.0% ABV golden ale brewed with chamomile and coriander. Last year it was a Biere de Noel. 

The beer pours a clear dark golden in color. There is a relatively short head of white foam that disappears quickly. The aroma is light spices, yeast with clove and very light banana, tangy, honey sweet golden grain. The taste follows the aromas, yeasty esters and light spice of semi-sweet golden grain. If you like Belgian-style golden ales, this is quite a good one. It drinks refreshing with a smooth, medium-bodied mouthfeel and a finely intense carbonation.
