Little did I know they switched to Alpine. That has got to be the worst thing I've ever tasted from Sam Adams. I generally find their beer ok and often the only thing other than BMC.
I had only just gotten into drinking their winter lager. I reckon the bars around me had it for a month or so and they've switched it up already. Not impressed.
I believe, according to their website, the noble pils is now available year round. I have purcheas a 6er since it went year round and it didn't seem as delicious as when it was seasonal. Probably just me, but I haven't bought any since.
The noble pils is good, I like it. Have not tried the cherry wheat, mainly because I like fruit flavors to evolve from ingredients and esters, but I don't like fruit in beer. Not just beer though, it doesn't belong in ice cream either.
