Samuel Adams Winter Lager
poured from 12oz bottle at fridge temps into a perfect pint glass. Appearance: deep red-amber,2 finger off white head that dissipated to a ring of bubbles. some lacing. Smell: darker malts, spice, citrus Taste: malty, carmel at first than cinnamon, orange peel, hop bitterness mid with a crisp finish Mouthfeel: medium body, high carbonation. Drinkability: at first I would say the drinkability was average, but as the beer warmed up a couple of degrees and carbonation went down, it became much more drinkable. Overall: solid beer, good option for a winter brew. The spices are not overpowering, which can be a problem with some spiced beers. I feel it is best with an aggressive pour and a couple min to warm up.
