Samuel Adams Brown Ale
12 oz bottle into a Samuel Adams pint glass. First off, the head looks great, retention is really good and the lacing throughout is amazing for a brown ale. The smell is of caramel malt with some nuts and a slight buttery buiscuit. Taste is malty with a slight hop finish. I wish I could speak more on the taste but my palate is compromised. Now, drinkability-wise, this is one of the best beers in the SA stable. Low carbonation (less fizz, more cream in the head) and a lower abv make this an easy beer to drink 6 of without feeling bloated. Wonderful. This is not the best Brown Ale on the market but Sam Adams did a hell of a job with the style, its tasty and very easy to drink. For someone wanting to get a taste of what brown ales are like this is a great place to start, definitely another quality brew from the Boston Beer Co
