Samuel Adams Spring Thaw pack..

Boy howdy. Tasted like a Budweiser ale infused with copper flavoring. Mighty Oak? The oak was mighty absent.

 

I'd guess the Maple Pecan Porter. My expectation is that it'll be good, but not great. I'd expect the Wit to be the most disappointing.

 

I am looking forward to this. The Mighty Oak was not my favorite last year so I won't miss it. The MPP and the IPL sound great to me.

 

Haha, that's what I was thinking. It tasted like chocolate milk in beer form. I liked it, though.

 

Me too. Actually, in its own way it is outstanding, but no doubt chocolate milk of the best kind. Just not very bock-evoking

 

I was able to pick up this pack last night but only tried the Double Agent IPL so far, and it was pretty good!

 

Picked up the 24 pack Spring Thaw box today, for $22. What a deal. Local shops want $16 for the 12 pack. Go go Sam's Club. Looking forward to popping one of the Maple Pecan Porters once they chill a little bit.

 

Looking forward to the Irish Red. Had the Alpine Spring last year and it was very refreshing and tasty.

 

Probably not relevant, but I hate Winter Lager and hope to never see it's ugly face in my glass again.

The spring pack sounds pretty good though, I'll be picking it up.

 

Spring pack widely available in NH despite our snowbanks. However, I could drink Alpine Spring, Irish Red and others any time of the year. I'm a big fan of Jack's Abby Hoponious Union but also found the IPL in this pack very enjoyable. I'll definitely be purchasing some IPL 6-packs when available - an acceptable substitute since Jack's Abby products aren't currently sold in NH. Overall, maybe the best SA Mixed Pack that I've purchased.

 

Its tasty!
Just picked it up last night

 

Got one of these packs the other day and I really enjoy it. The Maple Pecan Porter is a throwback to the days of Pete's Wicked Maple - one of my first "eureka!" moment beers. The IPL is kind of like a double Boston Lager.
Alpine Spring might not be a traditional kellerbier, but it's still tasty.
As usual, their witbier is the weak point. White Lantern tastes like a 50/50 mix of their old Spring and Summer ales. Meh at best, and unimaginative. I'm guessing Boston Beer must sell a boatload of wheat beers or something because they seem to want to keep cranking out rehashes of the same thing.

 

I think they are trying to lure some new craft beer drinkers in and it is a great gateway beer, much like Blue Moon is. I too find it to be just okay, but it does work well for me to have a few on hand because just as I predicted, last night I had a friend over who is not a big beer drinker but enjoyed the White Lantern.

And the Maple Pecan Porter is delicious!

 

Maybe. I think they like to try new recipes to see what "sticks". I will need that pack soon as my Winter case is about gone now..

 

This. I quite liked the White Lantern myself (a tangerine/orange "splash"), though it would not be a go-to beer for me. However, I could take a 6-pack to a party, people would drink and like it, and might be willing to try other better beers as a result of that experience.

 

Hmmm...just passed this up today to grab a case of Alpine Spring (which has quickly become my favorite SA beer). Judging by some of the comments here I may need to give this mix pack a shot. I just wish the price point was a little better - mid 30s for the case when I can get something from Victory or Lagunitas for a few bucks more.

 

Costco/Sams Club has these for $24 here in AZ.

 

Had my first Maple last night and it was delicious. Other than Fat Jack I'd have to say its my favorite SA

 

I dont think its released yet in NJ yet

 

Crap... I better finally pick up a winter mixed pack if I can still find any on the shelves.
