Beverage Review: Samuel Adams Alpine Spring



Bottle says: A bright citrusy unfiltered lager.
Brewer's description: Brewed especially for the season, this bright citrusy unfiltered lager is both satisfying and refreshing. It’s the perfect transition from winter’s heavier brews to the lighter beers of summer. Borne of our brewers’ many trips to Germany, Alpine Spring features a unique blend of lager attributes: the balanced maltiness and hoppiness of a Helles, the smoothness and slightly higher alcohol of a traditional spring bock, and the unfiltered appearance of a Kellerbier. The beer is brewed with Tettnang Noble hops to add a unique, bright orange-citrusy aroma and flavor.

Alcohol content: 5.5% by vol.

Appearance: Golden and slightly cloudy

His opinion: Light, crisp 'beer' flavor with definite citrus notes and no serious aftertaste. Not a lot to say about this beer other than that it has a very good taste and that it feels very much like the kind of beer that I'd drink on a summer afternoon.

Her opinion: Like it a lot, light and refreshing. Definitely tastes the citrus flavors in it, very pleasant. A beer that you would want to drink on a hot day. Sweetness isn't noticeable while drinking, but the aftertaste leaves a very slight sweetness in your mouth. One of my favorites.

Overall verdict: We both enjoyed this beer a great deal and will be buying it again!
