Samuel Adams Winter Lager

12 oz bottle. Pours dark amber with a light brown head. Aroma is clean malt not much spice in the aroma. Flavor is sweet malt. I noticed a slight taste of ginger. some bitter hops. A light finish beer. I will drink this beer all winter long.

bottle . . pours dark amber with a light hop aroma . . not as thick as I figured a winter lager would be . . not a bad effort

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear coppery amber. Yeast and malt noticable in the aroma with some sweetness. Smooth and crisp, kind of hard to grasp the spices. Tastes sweet with some malt. A bit on the light side.

This beer poured a hazish red with an off white head and leaves a decent lace. Its aroma is minimal but more malt than anything else. Taste is sweet with some spice and fruit flavor."

from recently found notes. Dark amber pour with offwhite head. Aroma is a bit of caramel spicy sweetness with some nut. Flavor is basically spicey boston lager. Ok

Pours dark amber with almost white head. Nose is caramel sweet, with a suggestion of black tea aromas. Palate is caramelly sweet but not heavily sweet, and light in flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and overall malty sweetness. This is a very light version of a winter beer, as far as winter beers go, normally. However, I think this wheat lager was clearly intended to be this way. Easy drinking.

A little wheat and maybe chocolate, nice ginger and spice aroma that shows up in the flavor as well. A good reason to look forward to the cold season.

12oz bottle. It’s not the best thing in the world, but compared to some of the other SA stuff, I’m stoked for this to come out in the winter.
