This one was as good as I expected. Sam Adams is coming along nicely with these recent "small batch" brews. With a fine taste of juniper that gets dryer by the sip, it leaves the palate refreshed indeed.

Bottle. Pours with a mostly clear bronze hued body with an off-white head. Aromas are spicy, marmalade, juniper, spruce. Malty and nutty. Flavors are very spicy, nutty, juniper. Lots of spice notes going on. Some eugenol numbness. Very lively carbonation, medium bodied.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
bomber - pours amber with tan head. Nose is caramel and berry. Flavor adds wood/smoke and, yes, a malty backbone. Hides the ABV well, but this tastes like unripe fruit. Makes me think of the poor wildlife that must subsist on green berries just to survive the unseasonably long winter: a beautiful story but not to be repeated often.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
22 oz. bottle pours an almost clear copper color with small off-white head which leaves a fair amount of lacing. Aroma is full of dark berries, wood, caramel, and some light spices. Body is medium to full with light carbonation. Taste is on the sweet side, but with full and unusual flavors. Quite unusual. I wouldn’t mind trying this one again.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
22 oz bottle. Pours a somewhat hazy orange to copper with an off-white head. Aroma starts with a whiff of honey, then some tartness, berries, minerals. Juniper berry and toasty malt flavors, honey, some bitterness and light tartness. Honestly, I just really can’t get into these flavors.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap at WOB. Deep bet pour. Herbal aroma with juniper berry hint. Big malt body with lots of juniper berry in taste. Unique and tasty.

2.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Dark Amber color. Good frothy head and lacing. Juniper berry taste is strong. Not as well balanced as I would hope.
2.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Brilliant red color with foamy tan head. Spiced fruit aroma. Interesting taste. Herbal flavors are the first thing I notice. Earthy, fruity, spicy and floral. Notes of cherry, strawberry and honey too. This tastes a bit odd to me. It’s ok, just not my cup of tea.
