Samuel Adams White Ale
This review hails from the West coast so we don't get the full range that the Boston Beer Co. has to offer. So you might be able to imagine how excited I was to find a beer produced by this brewery that I had only read about. Here is my review which was sidelined by my subjective enthusiam, so I beseech the reader to add an impartial objectivity. Boldly stated, this was something of a disappointment. The appearence is an orange, cloudy substance that retains quite a bit of a pleasant foam that is balanced by a mediocre bouquet that can be compared to sniffing a Chimay Grande Reserve through a coffee filter. Its taste is nothing to gawk at but it is noticable that its true potnetial has been undercut by commercial imperatives. The slightly creamy mouthfeel is rounded- out nicely by the sharp interruption of its dryness. Overall this is an enjoyable specimen that either suit the likes of the Belgian White Ale amatuer or that of the aficionado that never cared much for the style whatsoever. All in all not an offensive experience, nor one for the books.
