Review- Sam Adam’s Winter Lager

kraftastic — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 02:51:53 +0000

Today I cracked my first Sam Adam’s winter Lager of the season. Poured into my trusty Sam Adam’s perfect pint glass. (What do you expect? I live a block from the brewery.)

The Initial pour left a decent head, That retains well throughout the drink. It Is dark amber in color, translucent but not light by any accounts.

Very sweet aroma, you can tell it’s spiced by the smell.

Medium malt taste to start and finishes with the spices. The label states that they use Cinnamon,Ginger and orange peel. You can taste the bite of the cinnamon and ginger faintly at the finish. I do not detect the orange at all though.

A decent spiced lager at an affordable price.

Samuel Adams – Brewmasters Collection Cream Stout

Samuel Adams – Brewmasters Collection Cream Stout

THE POUR:
Smooth and dark in color, rich roast coffee aroma.

THE TASTE:
Nice roasted coffee flavor with hints of cocoa, faint hoppy notes. Not to bitter or burnt tasting like other stouts I have had. Smooth finish.

THE DECISION:
Not a bad beer! Not the best I have had. Over all it is a good brew from Sam Adams whom over time have morphed into a more then mainstream brewer rather than stay a craft brewery. But on the other hand really paved the way for today’s smaller brewers. Cheers!

THE GRADE: B+
