Winter Hook is flavorful without tasting like it's been flavored (if that makes sense). It doesn't have a fruity or spicy taste which many winter brews tend to have, and that goes a long way with me. It isn't too heavily carbonated, so it is quite drinkable without feeling watery. Slightly bitter with a dry finish.
Not the typical winter brew, but definitely one I'll buy again.

I had this for the first time this winter and enjoyed it. As you said, a solid beer that doesn't try too hard with its flavors.
I've become a huge fan of the Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale, so that and Sam Adams Old Fezziwig Ale are really my favorite holiday beers.
