Though L.A. is in zero need for a winter warmer, I really wanted to try the NW version from Burnside Brewing, and Permafrost pours a hazy and muddled dark orange color. First sip is effervescent but soon settles into a heartier ale. The aroma is dark citrus with malt notes. A bright hit of alcohol also pops in and out. A dark bitterness takes root at the end. This is the 3rd beer that I have tried from my Christmas beer purchases and though it doesn’t reach the heights of the GoodLife or SixPoint. It continues the trend of great beers.
