pours dark orange amber, little to no head. solid malt backbone with moderate bitter hop. had a nice thickness to it, and the flavors were just really well balanced. nothing super unique about it but overall a solid lager that is a good option when the draft selection is thin.

Very average for Samuel Adams. Once you’ve had it it’s time to buy something else.

Bottle: Malty and sweet, some hops traces. Drinkable but nothing out of this world.

Chewy flavor of wet cardboard and rubber. Thin mouth feel, light body. Looks good but doesn’t have much else going for it. No need to revisit.

This is one of my favorite of the SA seasonal offerings, second only to the Octoberfest. It’s very smooth and tastes so good. No after taste.

Had this as part of a gift/assortment pack. Very fruity, as expected, and for a wheat beer, which I’m not a big fan, it was acceptable. Probably would not select on my own accord.
