Samuel Adams Irish Red
Second from the 12 pack sampler. Poured from a bottle into a standard pint/tumbler. Appearance is a light red, light amber with no cloud or sediment. Off white, meringue like head that quickly recedes to a thin head leaving nice trails of lace. Smell is fruity and slightly hoppy, not much of a malt nose. Citrus hops with a sweet aroma. Taste is reasonably malty with a metallic, coppery twinge. Citrusey hops are light, but there. Mouthfeel is watery and thin carbonation makes the beer bubbly on the tongue. Drinkability is good, very light and easily sessionable. Not bad, but I'm noticing the hop profile in the SA varieties are almost all identical, save for the other flavors contributing. Not bad, but A little variety to the hops would be nice.
