Strong and copper-coloured, with toffee in the aroma, an initial sweetness from English malt and then a dry hop aroma; a hint of pear drops runs through a taste that stays refreshing. At 6.5% ABV Blizzard is the strongest beer in the Enville range, a winter warmer packed with English malt that returns every winter.

◐ Taste

The palate leads with initial malt sweetness that quickly gives way to a clean, refreshing bitterness from noble hops. The body remains full and satisfying, with the toffee character supporting but not overwhelming the overall balance. The pear drop note continues through the mid-palate, maintaining freshness and drinkability despite the robust 6.5% ABV.
