07, weizen glass. dark, hazy amber color. 2 finger thick white head, slowly faded. all i get from the nose is malt, hints of caramel, very slight. light bodied. malt and spice taste, with an aftertaste i can’t quite put my finger on...copper/wheat? not a bad seasonal, but i much prefer straight out of the bottle.

Pours a nice amber color. A thick head that dissipates quickly. Distinct, but not strong, aroma of hops and spice. My memory could be mistaken, but this one seems to have stronger spice flavors than in previous years. Heavily carbonated and not a lot of bite. Not bad as seasonals go, but not something I’d drink on a regular basis.

Amber color with a quickly fading head. Spicy malt flavor that lingers a little on the aftertaste. Good seasonal offering.

Nice brown color, good aroma, good malt flavor, the beer has a spicy flavor that complements most holiday foods. This is the kind of beer that goes great with a meal, or just relaxing.

Bottle. Pours amber with dense moderate off-white head, great lacing. Aroma has caramel malt, very mild fruitiness, subdued hints of spice. Flavor has lightly sweet caramel, vanilla, as well as light, but warming alcohol, prickly bitterness throughout. Finish is moderately bitter. Palate is full and lively. Full bodied and well-balanced.

Samuel Adam’s Winter Lager is a good seasonal brew that is amber/copper in color

Clear tan brown with nice fluffy head. Smell is nothing fantastic - just a bit yeasty and malty. Tastes similar to a seasonal - it has that funky spice taste and just isnt very fresh tasting. Slightly metallic in the finish. A bit thin - but not overly so. Drinkable, however I wouldn’t want it again.

draught. amber color with a thin white head. smells of citrusy hops and spice. spice dominates the flavor. texture is thin and watery and feels very odd with the heavy spice present in the flavor. some may love it but it is definitely not my cup of tea.
