Beer in summer versus winter — two completely different drinks

Something I've noticed with Beer: the season changes the experience significantly. In summer neat it's lighter and more refreshing, the complexity on the palate sitting differently in warm weather. In winter the same drink served the same way feels richer and more substantial.

I now think about Beer seasonally in a way I didn't used to. It's the same bottle but context transforms it. Worth being aware of if you've only tried it in one season.
