Samuel Adams Summer Ale
Samuel Adams Summer Ale EDIT: 2011 - had a few yesterday at a wedding where the choice was this or BMC. Much better than last year--less like dish water and more like I remember it from years ago. EDIT: 2010 - this beer has seriously gone down hill--the citrus flavor BBC has been using makes a few of their beers taste somewhat soapy. This year's Summer takes a large dose, not good. So sorry. --- 12 oz Bottle into Wine Glass My wife and I did a tasting of local (New England) Summer beers. This came in at number one. Pale orange/yellow, more yellow really with slight white head. Mild effervescence. Citrus/peppery aromas, hello grains of paradise. There is definitely a slight spiciness to it. Citrus all over. Refreshing, not too hoppy. Spiciness really goes well with Summer dishes. I really like this beer, it can be a bit too spicy/etc. But it is a very drinkable beer. Just sometime, blah.
