Name: Trader Joe's: Winterfest
Brewed In/Type: San Jose, Ca / Double Bock
Bought at/Price Trader Joe's / $5.49 6pack
Dennis: Lately, it seems that we pick some of this up every time we go. The price just can't be beat. It's just a typical lager based double bock, sweet malts and not a whole lot else. But at 7.5% for about 5 bucks, you just can't pass this by.
Jen: Okay, so this is a complete value, although it may lack in originality, it does stand true for a double bock. It has a high roasted malt flavor that is caramelly sweet, but not sicky sweet. A nice level of carbonation accompanies this medium to full bodied brew. It ends with a very mild hop taste; just enough to notice them. For the $$, this is a must have if you live near a TJ's.
