Samuel Adams "Brewnited" 2017 Spring Variety Pack

Sounds like a interesting variety pack. I used to enjoy Noble Pils and look forward to having it again. I'll be sure to pick this one up.

 

I'm intrigued by all of these beers. Except for the obvious Boston Lager, I've never had any of these other beers before.

 

Noble Pils is amazing, I'll buy it just for that. I remember the Irish Red being solid as well.

 

Good to hear. Helles lagers are starting to become one of my favorite styles, so I'm interested to try this one regardless (although Heaven or Helles was pretty bad IMO). Can't wait to see this at the grocery store.

 

Sounds interesting, I will give it a try.

 

Picked this one up today. Going to start with the Noble Pils tonight.

 

Like you, the Noble Pils was the draw, though the others were intriguing. My initial impression was the Irish Red was decent, but I slowly backpedaled from that to being just okay (for my tastes)

I was a tad iffy on the Helles myself, though I wasn't able to attribute it specifically to the addition. Found Hopscape to be an enjoyable option as a sessionable beer (not meant at all to be derogatory as some may take it). Still need to pop the Ella Blanc, hop it's as solid as you say.

 

I always felt that Sam Adams was always a hit or a miss. I like the Boston lager and Octoberfest, but hated their winter ale. They had a summer seasonal that I found overwhelmingly to sweet as well.

 

Honestly, the only time I've ever enjoyed Sam Summer is when I drank it at the Brewery tour, you could actually taste hops, and fruit, and maltiness. Otherwise it's just bleghhh.

 

Thank You for not putting that awful Cold Snap in there.

 

So no Cold Snap this year? I remember it being the main spring seasonal last year

 

No its back, just not in the variety pack. Escape Route Kolsch isnt back but was it around last year, I cant even remember.

 

Hope they make a Bock of some sort again. The old Double Bock recipe was absolutely delicious before they boosted the ABV for no good reason and put it in 4 packs. Doesn't have to be a dopplebock either, a single Bock would be a welcome addition to the family, I think.

Damn I miss SN Glissade too. Wish we got the Old Chico pale Bock out here....
