Served from bottle into glass

A - Pours a light orange, full head that dissipates quickly

S - Citrusy smell, zest and lemon present, definitely some orange in there too

T - Spicy taste, peppery in a way. Light notes of citrus, but they fade quickly. The spice is a little odd, sometimes a little too forward.

M- Clean and crisp. The carbonation is fairly light, but present.

D - Decent drinkability. It's fairly smooth, but the aftertaste has a resonating pepper taste.

Overall - It's okay, an odd choice I think for the winter variety pack, but not terrible. Standing alone, it's pretty average and I doubt I'd want another.

Serving type: bottle

Love this beer. Could just be my personal tastes changing a bit over time, but I remember it being slightly better when it was a spring seasonal. Again, not sure if it's actually changed, or it's just me.

Whenever I've gotten the beer on tap, it always has a nice head, and there seems to be a lot going on in the beer. Hints of orange, a good amount of typical Sam Adams flavor, and even a hint of ginger.

Feel good on the tongue, not too dry. Very refreshing, yet tasty at the same time. Still excellent in a bottle, but better on tap.

Serving type: on-tap
