Appearance> Mahogany in color. Gorgeous french vanilla head that pours big, but settles to a nice 1/4 inch quickly.

Smell>pine, clove... oh wait, is there beer in this?

Taste>Not too fabulous. I mean, it's really just quite average to be honest. It's like a lager, but spiced, ... malts with a hint of pine tree airfreshener. Nothing really stand out, but really nothing bad.

Mouf>a little too carbonated for my taste. Not terrible though.

Drinkability> Easy

Samuel Adams Winter Lager is a super clear amber beer with a soft, thin, off white head that leaves nice lacing. It has a light aroma of light grain, orange peel and ginger. It has a smooth, medium body with a light, slightly watery finish. The mouth is left just a little gritty. It's lightly flavored with malt and orange peel. There's a little bitterness after the swallow. This is where the ginger and cardamom come out. This is just kind of a simple session beer. It doesn't have a lot of personality, but it's certainly quaffable.
