Review: Samuel Adams Summer Ale

Samuel Adams Summer Ale from Boston Beer Company (Sam Adams)
Rating: B-

Appearance: Honey color in the glass, one finger white head that faded quickly. Slightly hazy, some good lace.

Smell: The spice is immediately present in the aroma, overlaying a wheat backbone.

Taste: Citrus at the front, wheat, spice shows up mostly at the swallow. Nice and crisp, finishes dry.

Mouthfeel: Light-medium body. Not as highly carbonated as some wheats.

Drinkability: Accessible. Refreshing on a summer day. Jason called this a "tone-downed white ale" and I think that's a good description.

Serving type: bottle
