Winter Lager
| Samuel Adams | 5.8% | N/A |
Samuel Adams (or, Boston Beer Co) is the largest American-owned brewery in the U.S. (since the Anheuser-Busch-InBev marriage) but that doesn’t mean they don’t brew a good beer. I have always enjoyed Sam Adams Boston Lager and their seasonal Winter Lager is a fine example of a really decent beer. It’s a darker than average lager (I’d like to give a better description, but it was dark, and the cups were blue [thank you DH]) and certainly heavier in taste. It has a really nice rich malty flavor with a little hint of hops. It’s slightly sweet and has a pretty smooth finish (I’d say this would be a good session beer aside from the slightly higher ABV). Overall, a very enjoyable beer and one that is perfect on a cold winter Sunday on the couch, watching the tube.
