Samuel Adams Winter Lager

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

I was very impressed with this seasonal beer after buying it in a grocery store. Great spices to give it a nice taste. I love the light blue label!

Tap at Fridays. Poured dark amber with small off white that didn’t last. Light aroma of malt. Light malt flavor that finished rather harsh. I had this before and I don’t remember the alcohol being that harsh.

Nice drinkable beer with a light malt sweetness. Well balanced taste, goes down smooth. Will buy again.

pours nice golden amber, nice head and lacing. very tasty beer, well balanced malt and hop flavors. not stellar, but a nice beer that i can find at most local resteraunts.

Good looking beer, poured a frothy half inch head that dissipated quickly but left good lacing. Noticed an aroma of hops as well as a satisfying malt aroma. Spices and hops balance the sweetness of the toasted malts, but malts win out in a sweetish finish. All in all, a very enjoyable beer for the season.

12oz bottle. amber color, small head. nice drinking beer with a touch of malt sweetness

Clear copper pour with a big offwhite head. Smell is tart malt with spices, and I got no wheat from it. Taste is spiced like an english strong ale. Perhaps some biscuity notes. I didn’t see this as a weizen bock at all, but still enjoyed the beer. To me this was a classic example of a good Christmas beer. Worth trying and I seemed to have enjoyed it more than my rating indicates.

Bottle poured a clear reddish amber with a small lingering amber head. Aromas of carmel, spice and a hint of fruittiness. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of burnt carmel, light spice and a hint of dark fruit with a smooth dry moderatly bitter finish.
