I picked up a case of Samuel Adams - Winter Classics. I do not know much about SA brand beer but has anyone tried this case? |

Quoted: They got rid of that horrible Cranberry Lambic they used to put in there. The only beer I ever dumped out without finishing. Same thing with the Cherry Wheat. That was terrible. The first couple of years they put the Winter Pack out, I don't think they had put a lot of work into the beers. It's looked much better these past two years. |

Samuel Adams makes a lot of nice beers in the traditional lager and ale styles. Not for everyone, but if you like craft brewed beers, a very good product. If your tastes run closer to Coors or Budweiser, move along. You won't like drinking complex ales with true character. Jesus Christ I just re-read what I wrote above and that sounds snobby as shit. I happen to think it's good beer, but to each their own. Cheers.

Love Boston Lager. Rest just soso SA makes what I call caricature beer. I don't get it. Cranberry Lambic is an excellent example. It's just too much of everything. The first sip is good, but by the time you drink half the bottle you are sick of the cranberry and the lambic. The only reason you don't dump the rest is, if you think it's a sin to waste something you paid good money for. Shiner's Holiday Cheer, however, is one of their best beers. |
