UPDATED: DEC 30, 2023 Drunk at Peggy and Pete's in Kentucky. Reddish with a small head, spicy malty nose. Definitely some wintery spices in there, cinnamon and such. Pretty sweet dark caramel flavor, moderate hops, big body, a bit one dimensional but rather tasty.

UPDATED: DEC 11, 2023 Purchased at Gerrard’s Market from Redlands, California for $3.49, Winter Lager is brewed with cinnamon, ginger, and orange peel crafted by Samuel Adams from Boston, Massachusetts. The air yields caramel, cinnamon, and dark fruit upon the nose. The appearance is garnet that pours a low white head that dissipates gradually with a minimal circular retention left and similar lacing. When held up to light, the color changes to an orange amber, and reveals a clear body. The alcohol content is 5.6%. Caramel is slightly rich, malty to the touch, and deepened by roasted malt. Pale male imbues a biscuit tone to the caramel and roasted malt tandem. Cinnamon softly spices the take, and textures the malty comprehension along with a pepper tinge from ginger. Lager yeast smoothens the drink, blending with the malty composition. Orange peel subtly bitters the take, and flavors the yeasty, caramel, and biscuit combination. Brown sugar imparts a complimentary toffee hue to the lager yeast and caramel and pale malt mixture, and sweetens the beverage. Prunes are easily picked out during the relatively dry, caramel, and yeasty finish. Winter Lager is gorgeous. Caramel, roasted, and pale malts, cinnamon, ginger, lager yeast, orange peel, brown sugar, and prunes combines into a delectable craft beer. Lager yeast smoothens the drink as the take is spiced by cinnamon and ginger along with a bitterness from orange peel. Caramel, roasted, and pale malts, cinnamon, toffee like brown sugar, and orange peel colors the complexion, followed by prunes. The malty composition slightly weighs the body, which is accented by cinnamon and ginger. Caramel and roasted malts, cinnamon, ginger, lager yeast, and prunes remain during the relatively dry finish, ensued by toffee as the finish wanes. I loved each drink, and enjoyed the additions of orange peel, cinnamon, and ginger to this winter lager. Cheers. Prost. Drink for the love of beer.

UPDATED: DEC 18, 2021 12 oz bottle pours a clear copper red with tiny off-white head that fades quickly with just a trace of lacing.
