Samuel Adams Noble Pils
12 oz. bottle poured into a pint glass. Appearance: Pours a clear golden color with visible carbonation. Nice white head that becomes more of a thick film and laces the glass. Smell: Aroma of fresh cut grass, hops, malts, and a bit of florals. Taste: A bit of a cross between a pilsner and an APA. There's a lot of grains, some hop bitterness, and a bit of grasses. Not much comes through in the way of florals, except in the aftertaste. There's a bit of an astringent flavor in the aftertaste. Mouthfeel: Light- to medium-bodied with light carbonation. Quite smooth as well. Drinkability: A bit heavier than many other pilsners, but quite drinkable. An enjoyable new offering from SA. Not my favorite, but good enough for this to be the 3rd 12-pack I've picked up this month. Unfortunately a couple of bottles have had a slightly skunked taste, so make sure you get a fresh one.
