    Opinions on what your top few (less than 3) Sam Adams beers other than the obvious Utopias regardless of BA ratings. I feel like all BA ratings for Sam Adams are subjective, therefore this could be interesting.

    Mine are:-in no particular order

    Hazel Brown
    13th hour
    Oktoberfest

    Triple Bock. It is genuinely my highest rated SA beer (3.73). I don't rate much of their stuff though.

    I do love Boston Lager, Noble Pils, Old Fezziwig and a few others. The majority of their beers were my introduction to beer styles during college.

    I really like:
    Stony brook red
    choc bock
    holiday porter

    When I was in Boston last fall their Oktoberfest was my go-to if there wasn't anything neat on tap.

    They had a blackberry porter a number of years ago, loved it. I see chocolate bock listed here a few times, can't stand it one bit.

    These three aren't even my favorite styles. Plus there are plenty others that I've enjoyed but I think these are the best based on style and flavor.

    Boston lager
    Imperial stout
    Cranberry lambec (I'll probably get blasted for this one)

    I like just about anything from Sam Adams. The only one I'm not big on is the cherry wheat.
