I review the beers I drink

Sam Adams – Summer Ale

 

Moderately hazy with minimal head retention, smells of lightly funky yeast, spring flowers, and a faint hint of pepper. The taste is crisp and very peppery from the grains of paradise, with a sweeter lemon juice flavor underneath and a smooth medium body. The finish is long and low to moderate in bitterness, with notes of citrus peel and residual pepperiness balancing out some mild herbal hopping. Overall, this is a great summer time beer, perfect for sipping slow all day long in the summer heat.
