Sam Adams Seasonals

Hmm, im not crazy about their regular production beer. But I will still get the sampler pack if it has the winter seasonals in it.

It would only be two bottles...but it still drives me crazy. Their fall sampler had the BL and their cherry wheat, which I find almost repulsive so it was four "wasted" beers in my opinion. I drank the BLs but I can't stand CW so I tried giving it to JK5's girl. She didn't like it either so down the drain it went.

Agreed boston lager and cherry beer are dog crap.

That sucks. The only Sam Adams I like is their Octoberfest, but havent had the winter seasonals so I am gonna try em' out.

I just got turned on to the Oktoberfest this fall. For some reason I have never tried it before. I try almost every beer I can get my hands on at least once, and this one always went unnoticed. It is a very tasty beer. Great warmup to the Winter Lager. However, it's not as good as the Winter Lager IMO.

It would be nice to find something other than the Octoberfest from SA that I can enjoy. Winter Lager sounds really good.
