Samuel Adams- Cold Snap

Who else is ready for spring? As I decided on which beer I was going to drink during the Super Bowl, I stumbled upon a new Sam Adams beer that was recently released. I am a huge Sam Adams fan, and for those of you who have not tried any Sam Adams beer, you need to. The beer that I decided to buy was the new Cold Snap by Sam Adams. The mixture of winter spices and the orange sweetness of spring make this an amazing beer.

This unfiltered white ale releases an amazingly smooth wheat taste with a snap of spices. The mixture of these spices, along with orange and plum flavors makes this an amazing spring beer. One thing that makes this beer stand out is the Hallertau Mittelfrueh Nobel hops used in the brewing process of Cold Snap; these hops have an ingredient that most other spring beers do not: ground coriander. The spice of coriander seeds work great with the orange peel that is used to brew this beer!

I have tried many different spring beers, and this is at the top of the list. This is one of the better Sam Adams brews I have had,  and it is a must for the wheat beer drinkers. If you are looking for a beer that will give you a kick into spring, this is it! This beer helps us remember that spring is on its way despite the record cold and the snow covered ground. I give this beer a 4 out of 5. It's a great tasting seasonal beer which I encourage all of you to go out and try. Until next week, happy drinking!
