It is a bitter cold day here in New England, so perhaps not the best time to be delving into the Spring variety pack from Samuel Adams. But the name of the beer being highlighted today is certainly appropriate. It is the latest seasonal offering from Samuel Adams and is called "Cold Snap".
It is advertised as a "white ale" but you can tell it's anything but. It is somewhat golden, and as you can tell is an unfiltered beer.
The first sensation when you drink it is that of a prickly spicy feeling on the tip of your tongue. This is followed by a light, citrus flavor. I detected either orange or lemon accents.
As I continued drinking the prickly sensation translated to what I would call a peppery flavor.
The beer is crisp and more suited to warmer spring weather I'd say. The flavor is on the light side and doesn't linger or have much of an aftertaste.
I'd say it's the kind of brew you would enjoy drinking one of, but you wouldn't want to be drinking it all night long. The combination of pepper and citrus would begin to wear on you.
An interesting brew. I'm giving it 6 mugs out of 10.
