Last night and the night before, just to make sure I wasn't biased by the over consumption of alcohol during the prior tasting, I tasted the SA Winter Beer pack that I have not been touching since I purchased it.
I tried twice on two seperate nights to finish the Old Feziwig ale and each morning after it was still mostly full.
The porter is alright, but on the sweeter side. Really not for me.
The Boston Lager is just downright malty and not as crisp I was hoping for.
The Winter Lager had a little bit more crisp mouthfeel than the Boston, but still was essentially Boston Lager.
I avoided the two remaining bottles of Cranberry Lambic due to the fact that I was going to throw them out when my girlfriend said she would drink them. I replied (poor decision), "You didn't like them the other two times we tried them, so I will just thow them out." Hell ensued and they are going to live in our fridge until we move out and I finally get to place them where they belong, in the garbage (not even down the drain as more important things exist there that I don't want to kill off with this foul thing called beer).(EDIT: Somehow SWMBO made it through both of these devils last night. I tried it again and almost vomited. I would rather drink a tube of toothpaste or a bottle of cough medicine before doing this again)
I haven't reached the stout yet, but will report more on this later. (EDIT: I tried the stout and it was nice. I did however find a little nail polish smell in it that surprised me. Typically I smell that in oxidized beers and wouldn't expect it from Sam)
I don't know why, but Sam Adams isn't for me and I don't see myself purchasing any more of their beer in the future. More for you guys.
