    Looks like they are doing a Belgian Golden this year. Wonder what spices may be used? Look forward to trying it.

    Chamomile and coriander. Hmm. If it's anything like Summit's Unchained Belgian Style Golden, lookout!

    I've heard it'll be close to 8% abv at the good 'ol snowstorm price. This thing is going to put people under the table in a hurry.

    This one sounds promising. Last year was a let down for me.

    I liked the birds de Noel personally. I enjoy snowstorm in general. They have done some good stuff the last few years

    I thought last years was really good. Thinking this years will be even better by the sounds of it.

    Schell's is hitting 1 for 3 with Belgian-y styles with me. Really liked the dubbel, did not care much for the saison and Beire De Noel.

    Here's some more info I found on mnbeer.com:

    This year’s Snowstorm is Belgian Strong Golden Ale brewed with Belgian Ardennes yeast as well as Chamomile and Coriander, Smaragd hops, 2-row, rye and sugar. At 7% abv, it’ll be a bit of a sipper, but no doubt a delight. Look for this beer in November!

    Definitely looking forward to it. I have yet to be disappointed in any of the Snowstorm offerings. Always look forward to it. One of the highlights of the winter beer season for me.
