Samuel Adams Winter Lager

Bottle. 12 oz. Pours clean amber with a modest, tan head. Aroma of barley, pumpkin, hops, cherries, and wheat. Medium bodied with a clear, crisp mouthfeel. Nice touch of fruit in the aftertaste. Very good.

Poured a good looking amber color with an off white head that left some lacing. Light aromas and flavors of toasted malt and nuts, fruit, wheat, and spices (mostly nutmeg). A little too thin, slightly creamy. Overall not a bad Weizen Bock, but it left a bit to be desired.

Always a great winter lager....I drank it by the case when I lived overseas. A delicious beer!

Bottle poured into a pilsner glass produced and thick, foamy, tan head with amber body. Slight sweetness and nice spices. A very enjoyable lager.

Poured from bottle into Summit Pint glass. Clear, somewhat dark copper with reddish highlights. Thin off-white head. Not much lacing but the color simply looks hearty. Aroma of faint fruity malts and faint winter spices. Key word "faint". But what’s there seems good. Mostly malt driven, highlighted by bread, toast, cherry and a slight wheat taste. The winter spices (particularly the nutmeg) are more noticeable on the finish. Besides for the spices and slight wheat taste, it is Bock-like. Moderate carbonation, medium body, somewhat dry finish. Nice, hearty winter lager with just a touch of spice so you can’t forget the upcoming festivities. Of course, this isn’t really a Bock. A Bock with wheat and spices? Nein!

Another good one from sam adams. ginger, spices, hops. Very tasty. Isn’t as heavy as it looks

355ml bottle poured into a dimpled mug. Clear amber with a small tan head. Aroma is very fruity with hints of nuts and bread. Flavor is sweet malt with some spice. Short finish is spicy with slight bitterness. Nice brew.
