Sam Adams Summer Ale
Crap...It's still hot and I've been on the motorcycle a bit so it's time for a beer. The beer today is:
Beer: Sam Adams Summer Ale Type: American Pale Wheat Ale Brewed by: Boston Beer Company...Sam Adams Price: on sale at Kroger...$6.99 a sixer ABV: 5.2% How consumed: 12 oz. bottle poured into a pint glass Reading up a bit on this beer before I drank it revealed it is brewed with lemon zest and grains of paradise...grains of paradise being a rare pepper from Africa that has been used in brewing since the 13th century. I found the grains of paradise kinda interesting. So on with the review... The pour: I poured this beer straight out of the fridge into an un-chilled pint glass. It appeared to be rather thin and yellow colored. The head was about one finger tall and quickly went away. It smelled of light hops with a floral note. As the beer was consumed I noticed no lacing on the sides of the glass. The taste: My initial impression was a rather grassy taste with a bit of lemon. It's pretty thin in the mouth feel with minimum carbonation. It finished sweet with just a small dose of pepper...Yep I think I tasted the grains of paradise. Overall impression: It ain't a bad beer...There is just not much going on with it that grabs my attention. It's a nice hot weather beer that you can have a few with your buds. I really prefer Blue Moon. It seems to have a bit more flavor. On a scale of 1-10 I give it a solid 7. |

Huge Puffer Fish packed with spikes

You can never go wrong with just about any Sam Adams imo. Cept for maybe the cranberry crap

Puffer Fish with many spikes

Love Summer Ale - in fact, love all their specialty brews. Well, except the aforementioned Cranberry Wheat and the "original" flavor - Boston Lager? Don't like that one either.

Their Black Lager is an excellent beer for pairing with many cigars.
