Schell's Snowstorm 2019 Red Ale

This is the 2019/2020 winter seasonal offering from the August Schell Brewing Company of New Ulm, Minnesota. This year it is in cans. Every winter they release Snowstorm, featuring a different style of beer every year. This year it is a 6.5% ABV red ale. 


The beer pours a bright amber with a reddish tint. There is nearly an inch of light tan foam, that bubbles down raggedly. The aroma is sweet, tangy, fruity, grassy, with tea and lemon. The taste is malty, light caramel, crackery, plums, tea, and lemon. The finish is quite bitter. The beer drinks easy, smooth, with enough carbonation to add to the refreshment. This is delicious, and would stand well against the best British bitter or pale ale. I really liked this one.
