Samuel Adams Summer Ale
Pours a light golden color with some cloudiness. Decent head and retention albeit poured into a chilled pint glass. Smells of wheat, yet clean and crisp, and tastes again of wheat and light hops. Decent feel yet a bit too sweet for me. Certainly the best brew from a mixed(4 styles) case from Sam Adams. Very pleasant and quite drinkable though not quite what I expected. But then, sometimes that's a good thing. Edit: April 2010.. Pours a light saison straw color. Nose is very light of wheat and lemon, somewhat false initially but expanding with hints of white pepper. No hops noted at first, with some noble hops arriving with warming. Delicate and spicy in flavor, the nuances of this beer are lost if consumed from the bottle. Not as sweet as it once was, the Recipe Roulette that is Boston Beer's mantra gets a thumbs up for this. But perhaps we should just call it a different beer??? Boosted from a C- to a B...
