Samuel Adams Winter Lager

Brewed by Boston Beer Company
Style: Weizen Bock
Boston, Massachusetts USA

Bottle from Holiday Sampler 12 pack. Lighter Amber color. Big off white head that dissipated quickly. No lacing. Light spice aroma and taste of the same. Aren’t weizen bocks supposed to be dark? This one definitely was not. There was a hint of spices in this beer but it was really subtle. Overall a pleasant beer, but nothing special. The body was too thin to make it impressive.

poured reddish amber with a light tan head. Spmewhat of a sweet malty aroma with a spice note underneath. Taste was similar: malty sweet with a mild spice note. Very mild hop bite at the back. Solid, but not a star.

Bottle pour. A fairly simple winter beer. I didn’t really pick up on any distinctive weizen bock characteristics in this one. Just kind of spicy like I expected it to be.

mild scent of hops. taste is of some lightly burnt roast and again mild hops. not a terrible beer but probably not one that i would get again.

12oz bottle. Pours clear amber with thich off-white head. Aroma was malty with toffee and some spices. Flavor is again very malty with spices, toffee and some honey. Medium mouthfeel. Surprised to find out that this is supposed to be a weizen bock as it does not match the style. I did enjoy and it is a decent session brew as are most SA brews.

really expected more and didn’t like this one. so much for a weizenbock, was pretty clear ruby and i expected at least something cloudy. had a candy sweetness and thin body that made me want to pour it down the drain. not even close to making me want to have another let along keeping me warm during the winter time.

A tannish amber color with little head, not so much heavy with the spice that I would expect out of a winter beer, but more just malty

12 oz bottle. Had a small head that quickly vanished. It’s color was a nice coppery brown. It tasted of honey and toffee with a slight hop bitterness.
