Sam Adams Cold Snap Witbier

I'm a little suspicious that Sam Adams is recycling some of their old beers with new names, or making some minor changes and relabeling. This seems a lot like their White Ale, which alternated between the Winter variety pack and the Spring collection a few years back, the link to the November 2010 IGB review of the white ale will follow at the end of this review.

Cold Snap is an unfiltered wheat, with spices added. It pours an apricot hue, with a medium white head. There's a strong aroma of orange peel and a melange of various other flavors such as coriander, lemongrass and a little grapefruit. A hint of orange marmalade hits you after it warms up a bit. Light and refreshing, sessionable with enough complexity to satisfy us beer geeks, but middle-of-the-road enough for the novice.
