Tasting note

In 1984, Samuel Adams changed beer drinking in America with their first batch of Boston Lager. Winter Lager is deep copper, with a thin foamy head. Roasted grain and caramel aromas, with a citrusy hops note and a spicy background. Medium bodied, with light bitterness and flavours of orange zest, pear, chocolate and spice.

Dark copper/amber in colour. Malty with hints of spicy hops on the nose. A full mouth-feel with a lingering malt sweetness on the finish.

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.

Bold and rich, orange peel, ginger, cinnamon with a touch of holiday spice, Samuel Adams Winter Lager is a wonderful way to enjoy the cold evenings that accompany the season.
