50 days 'til Christmas, 50 holiday beers to drink
« Pyramid Snow Cap | Main | Michelob Celebrate »

You really never know what you're going to get when you crack open a Belgian beer. You could get something as heady as a Delirium Noel or as conventional as Stella Artois. Petrus Winterbeer falls between the two, perhaps a little closer to Stella.

Brewed by Bavik brewery, Petrus Winterbeer pours a clear amber color with a white head that lingers for a while. Its aroma is slightly malty, though fairly unremarkable. It's a medium-bodied beer with a clean taste, though slightly metallic with hints of green apple. Very drinkable, though not particularly memorable.

In the 50 days leading up to Christmas, Metromix producer Matt McGuire will drink 50 different holiday beers. Why? In short, because he likes winter brews. He's also hoping people will discover a new beer or two. Follow his adventures here, and tune in each day for a new post.
