beer_name: Samuel Adams White Ale
text: Left over spring seasonal. Purchased a 6 for $4.99. Appearance: Poured into a weizen glass, the beer is a murky dark gold to orange in color. I get a nice 1 to 2 inch white head which settles to a cover on the liquid leaving some lace as I drink the beer. Smell: Citrousy, some lemon and a hint or orange as well. A touch sweet smelling. There are some grainy wheat malt and yeasty scents as well. Taste: The taste follows the smell. Some wheat malt, then the slightly sweet citrous fruits. No bitterness here. I do get the feeling that this is a wheat beer mascarading around like a witbier, much like the "Hefeweizen" is just a wheat ale. Mouthfeel: Light to medium in body, well carbonated. A lively beer on the tongue with a crisp finish. Drinkability: A spring seasonal that would be welcome in my fridge in the summer. A nice refreshing easy drinker.
