Warsteiner Winter
Winter, formerly sold as Warsteiner Weihnacht, is the brewery's seasonal beer and appears on shelves each year from autumn. Brewed from Kaiserquelle water, spring barley malt and Hallertau hops, it is filtered to a bright copper-amber with a creamy head. Caramel, nut, biscuit and toasted bread crust mark the nose. The body is medium and rounded, hearty and malty with toffee sweetness, balanced by a restrained hop bitterness in the finish.
