One of my beer runs brought me across this one from Samuel Adams. The Winter Lager comes in at a 5.6% ABV and 22 IBU, so it can be expected to be more of a malty pleasantry. It’s noted to have a nice mix of flavors, so let’s see how it compares.
Commercial Description:
German brewers were onto something centuries ago when they created rich bock beers for the
winter. Our version is spiced with cinnamon, ginger, and orange peel for a deep
flavor and malty finish that will warm you on a cold winter’s night.
