Boston Beer Company (Samuel Adams)
Sam Adams 20 Pounds of Pumpkin
Pumpkin Beer - 5.7% ABV Pete This is a pretty outstanding pumpkin beer. It's more beer than pumpkin, but it's enough to make you know it's fall (or summer when they actually release these beers). Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Sam Adams 26.2 Boston Brew
Gose - 4.5% ABV Pete Not the best beer. It's described as having a lot of different things going on, but it's pretty much just a light beer, which I guess is fine for a post-marathon drink (or for people who are just drinking all day during the marathon). Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Sam Adams 3 Weiss Men
Weizenbock - 9.6% ABV Pete Not a ton of flavor in this, which is probably why it doesn't do a great job hiding the booziness. Pretty strong. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Sam Adams Alpine Spring
Keller Bier - 5.5% ABV Pete This is a very good beer. It has a nice citrusy flavor to go along with hints of honey. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Sam Adams American Kriek
Kriek - 7% ABV Pete This is a tough combination. I generally don't like cherry beers, and it's also extremely funky, too much so. Not my favorite. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Sam Adams Beantown Ale
Red Ale - ?% ABV Pete This is some special beer that you can only get at the Beantown Pub in Boston. I can see why. It's really bad. But hey, it's rare, right? This beer is like Mr. Mime. If you want to catch 'em all, sure, go for it, but really there's no point otherwise. Ratings: Pete - 2 Shyoh's |
|
Sam Adams Belgian Session
Belgian Pale Ale - 4.25% ABV Pete This is an outstanding beer. It has the spiciness of a good Belgian Witbier, plus a little bit a hoppiness that you'd get from a mild pale ale. Great for everyone. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Sam Adams Black & Brew Coffee Stout
Stout - 5.8% ABV Pete This is a pretty standard good, but not great, Sam Adams brew. It is a little different than most stouts in that it isn't as heavy, but this also results in slightly less flavor. The mild coffee flavor means that beer and coffee drinkers alike will enjoy this one. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Sam Adams Black Harbor Stout
Imperial Stout - 11% ABV Pete This is a pretty good imperial stout. It has obvious chocolate flavor with a decent amount of bitterness. Can't really taste the booze at all, impressive. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Sam Adams Black Lager
Black Lager - 4.9% ABV Pete Nice and malty. It's pretty heavy, but you should expect that from a black lager. Very good beer. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Sam Adams Blackberry Witbier
Fruit Beer - 5.5% ABV Pete This is a decent fruit beer, but the blackberry flavor is completely overpowering. Drink one if you want, but I wouldn't have more than 1 of these beers. The fruity taste is too overpowering. That being said, it is very strong for a fruit beer. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Sam Adams Blueberry Hill Lager
Fruit Lager - 5.5% ABV Pete I really didn't mind this beer. It was a decent fruity beer. My review might be a bit skewed because I drank this right after another beer that nearly made me vomit (by nearly I mean I had to run to the bathroom). This was welcome relief. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Sam Adams Boston Ale
Pale Ale - 5.4% ABV Pete Stick to the lager. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Sam Adams Boston Brick Red
Red Ale - 5.8% ABV Pete This beer is only available in Boston, and I think I know why. It is by far the worst Sam Adams brew I've had, so I'm guessing offering it as limited in the city would be the only way they could get rid of it. Ratings: Pete - 2 Shyoh's |
