Taste:

Overall:

Knotty Pear’s main ingredient is juice from American apples, and also features pear juice, which adds a new dimension to the cider, creating a pleasantly dry flavor. Cardamom imparts a slight spicy flavor.

Sam Adams Whitewater IPA

Boston Beer Company

Beer Style:

American IPA

ABV:

5.80% ABV

Looks:

Smell:

Taste:

Overall:

This flavor packed brew draws inspiration from two distinct styles, the white ales of Belgium & American IPAs. But while a fusion of the two, it’s far more than the sum of both, exhibiting a harmony of crisp wheat, bright pine and citrus flavors, & just a hint of orange peel.

Looks:

Taste:

Overall:

A crisp, refreshing version of a traditional Belgian beer. Fruity, slightly spicy flavors from the Belgian yeast are balanced by toffee and caramel notes from our blend of malts while the hops provide a citrus character that rounds out this enjoyable brew. (Description provided by company)

Sam Adams Heaven or Helles

Brewer:

Boston Beer Company

Beer Style:

Munich Helles Lager

ABV:

5.00% ABV

Looks:

Smell:

Taste:

Overall:

Light and golden blonde, this seemingly innocent brew is hellishly drinkable. ‘Helles’ translates to bright in German, befitting this fresh lager.

Sam Adams Got to Gose

Brewer:

Boston Beer Company

Beer Style:

Gose

ABV:

4.80% ABV

Looks:

Smell:

Taste:

Overall:

Breezy, fresh and invigorating. As the saying goes, it’s “cool as a cucumber”, but that’s something quite unexpected when it comes to beer. We began with the brisk yet flavorful German Gose style, brewed with salt and coriander for a slightly tart sparkling taste and hint of pepper.
