Samuel Adams Alpine Spring

12oz bottle pours slightly hazy deep gold with copper hues and slightly off white head. The aroma initially offers up slim helpings of spicy hops, some floral hops an a almost lemon like citrus note. It quickly picks up sweet malts, some honey, grainy maltiness and sort of a lageriness. Alright, I’m liking this landbeir as it seems a bit like a few I had in Germany not too long ago. It is almost chewy in mouthfeel ushering in fairly full notes of sweet malts, honey notes and then a nice malt graininess for added depth and interest into the finish. Floating above those notes are snippets of spicy, floral and a faint lemon like citrus hoppiness. Overall pretty nice where the hops are pesky enough to add a bit of balance to the sizeable malty sweetness.

Bottle: Drank from the bottle so no pour info. Aroma was light citrus and hops. Taste was sweet up front with nice citrus fruit and hops finish to keep it lively. Refreshing brew after a long week at work.

Good malt and citrusy hops in the nose, average light amber body topped with a decent white head with minimal lacing. Mouth is medium, a bit creamy. Lots of sweetness in this brew, good amount of citrus bitter kick, finish is not dry, honey flavor almost dominates. A good sweet and slightly spicy brew. RERATE 9/18/2013 Beautiful lace

Bought a 6 er at the grocery store. Nice bubbly yellow amber pour. Nice! Had to pour direct into the glass to get a 1" head, with some nice lacing that follows down the glass. The Tettang jumps out in the nose. Malty refreshing brew. This seems to have a little bitter aftertaste, not overpowering, but drinkable. OK beer!

Bottle - puts a cloudy gold lager in the glass with a puffy lasting cap. Aroma is bready, a bit of of floral some grass. This lager is just full of flavor - malty, a bit of citrus, woody, earthy - clean finish dries up and leaves a small kiss of honey at the finish. Love the style and thi is a great rendition of a Zwickel.

Pours a slightly hazy golden straw colour, finger of fine bubbled head with some retention and nice sporadic lacing. The aroma is a light lemon citrus notes, bready malts, hints of caramel and honey, and some musty grass notes. The taste is much like the aroma with the faint floral citrus hops coming through alongside a heavily breaded malt, with a touch of musty grass notes on the finish.

The beer poured a hazy yellow colour with a 1" white creamy had that lasted and laced down the Samuel Adams Boston Lager glass. The aroma grainy malt, and floral hops. Quite pedestrian really. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with mild carbonation. The flavour was grass, grains, some yeast, and a weak bitter finish.

Seems to be called "Spring Lager" for the Canadian and Swedish markets. Picked-up a 6-pack of this at the LCBO. An unfiltered lager... pretty nice ! Pours a hazy golden-amber colour with a big frothy white head that has good retention and decent lacing all-around. The hop really comes out in the nose for a lager, with hints of honey and grain. The taste is mild with malt and the citrus just adds a refreshing twist on this very interesting lager (which will not appeal to most typical lager drinkers).

Hazy golden yellow hue sits below the off-white foam that disipates quickly. Fragrant armoas of hops and citrus dance around the nostrils. Fruity flavors of barley, wheat, lemon zest and orange blend nicely as part of the hop balance with just a slight tinge of bite at the finish. Not my favorite as it still may be a wee tad hoppy for my palate, but I would not turn down this seasonal either. Especially on a hot day. Well done Sam Adams!
