COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bold and rich, with a touch of holiday spice. The first thing one notices about a Samuel Adams® Winter Lager is the deep ruby color. Then comes the magical aroma which promises something special on the tongue. The cinnamon, ginger, and hint of citrus from the orange peel blend with the roasty sweetness of the malts to deliver a warming, spicy flavor. On the palate Samuel Adams Winter Lager is rich and full bodied, robust and warming, a wonderful way to enjoy the cold evenings that come with the season.

Served too cold to taste much... Let it warm up a bit and it got better... Smooth taste but not quite as good as Boston Lager.

시각적으로나 후각적으로 만족스러운 정도를 미각적으로 받쳐주지 못한다. 거품은 생기지만 잘 유지가 안된다. 색은 붉은 빛. 목 넘김은 잘 기억나지 않는 것이 특징적이진 않았던 것 같다. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Samuel Adams Winter Lager is a super clear amber beer with a soft, thin, off white head that leaves nice lacing. It has a light aroma of light grain, orange peel and ginger. It has a smooth, medium body with a light, slightly watery finish. The mouth is left just a little gritty. It’s lightly flavored with malt and orange peel. There’s a little bitterness after the swallow. This is where the ginger and cardamom come out. This is just kind of a simple session beer. It doesn’t have a lot of personality, but it’s certainly quaffable.

A nice seasonal from Sam Adams. Nothing to jump up and down about, but a very solid craft beer. Subtle Citrus notes and like spice flavors ... well balanced with the hop bitterness.

Not horrible by any means, but just not a special beer. Pours a dark reddish brown with a frothy head that gives way to some moderate lacing. Aroma is malt with some spices and the taste reflects that but not overpowering. Overall, drinkable for the style but not one I’d go out of my way to drink.

Poured into a tulip glass with a nice amber color and some froth. Taste was nice not to strong but just enough to have some warmth. Enjoyed it.

Bottle at home. Pour is clear amber is appearance with a frothy white head and decent lacing. Biscuity, bready, lightly grassy, wet-dog, somewhat skunked, and grainy aroma. Taste is cereal, straw, grain, lightly toasty, roasted malt, caramel, grassy, and corn with a light bitter finish. Medium body with high carbonation. Meh.

Smak och doft av humle, malt, karamell, toner av citrusfrukter. Lätt kropp, något krämig i konsistensen med lätt beska.
