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.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber with a decent off-white head. The taste is great; quite a lot of spices, wheat, some bitterness from hops, and a balanced malt flavor.

This beer has some flavor to it. After being disappointed by the black lager I was surprised by this beer. It has an amber color and some malty earthy notes in the aroma followed by a sugar flavor and a bit of an awkward mouthfeel. A worthwhile beer and a standard in the winter months.

Bottle from Tbone_, thanks! Reddish brown color. Caramelly aroma with pineapple. Caramelly sweet flavor with cinnamon. Malty, well balanced, fresh tasting. Only a somewhat sticky mouthfeel. Not bad!

Pours a medium brown with thin white head. Medium body with hints of caramel, malts, some hops, toffe, and some spices. Rich yet not dark. Goes down very smooth. Good beer

There is something about Sam Adams brews in general...a mouthfeel, a something that I can’t define, but I like. Winter Lager is tasty and worth a try. I love the way the head foams up and is a nice beige/brown and lacy to the end. Another fine Sam Adams brew that I enjoyed poured from a bottle.
