Samuel Adams Beer?
|
|
I just found out Samuel Adams has beers like Dunkelweizen, Doppelbock, Kolsch, and Irish Red are these good representatives of the style of beer or are they just cheap commercial beers?

Depends on who you ask... I didn't like their Irish Red at all... I'm sure that most home brewers, that brew those styles, make better brew than SA... Besides, you have the freedom to tweak your recipe until it's something YOU like... You're not going to get that from any sold brew...

It's a mixed bag - most of them are drinkable but not what I would call classic examples of the style. The hefeweizen isn't even close to a german wheat. It is to hefe what their lambic is to lambic. Just not right.

I would suggest researching what truly represents the style and try that... Don't see anything from Sam Adams in the BJCP styles listing...  I would see if you could get any that are listed there first...

Most of their beers are mediocre compared to what i can brew. The only beer of theirs that I love is Boston Lager.
I tried cloning it once. I nailed the color, but didn't even come close flavor-wise.

I personally like the Dunkelweizen a lot. the Irish red isnt bad but could use a more malty flavor, but much better than killians. cant speak for the kolsch.

I like their Boston Lager and Imperial Wit, but those aren't really two beers you can compare much with anything else anyway  |
