Commercial Description:
Looking for something a little different? Brewed with rice and barley malts, Samurai is an easy drinking, unfiltered ale that changes the status quo for unfiltered beers. The addition of rice gives Samurai a slightly fruity, crisp, refreshing and clean taste. This is definitely not your everyday unfiltered beer.

Smells quite sweet, slightly fruity fragrance to it. Taste is slightly bitter hops, quite watery and lacking in flavor overall. Not as bad as I was expecting from a rice beer, but nothing special either.

Lightly smoky, tart, funky ale aroma. Fair label (improved since the Big Red Ball picture that is displayed as I write this,) cloudy light honey gold, big white head, flocculent white sediment. Starchy APA flavor, with a green nut/grassy quality and astringent finish. Pedestrian. Liquor Loft.

Drinkable but unspectacular. Slightly fruity flavor, a tad thin with high carbonation.

Hazy yellow with some particulate and massive billowing white head. Aroma of lemon citrus and antiseptic. Flavor is bitter lemon and bandaids. Medium thin body with very high carbonation and a biitter lemon finish. Nearly identical to your average hefewiezen, but with rice instead of wheat.

Pours hazy pale gold into a shaker. Fluffy bright white head top hats and and meringues as it very slowly recedes. Lemon aromas. Full wheat and highly carbonated. Sour lemon finish.

Overwhelming yeast and rice smell with an overly yeasted flavor and mild fruit notes. Total drain pour for me.

Pours bright yellow and lightly cloudy with a mostly receding off-white head. Aroma of orange peel and bready ale yeast. Taste is citric, yeasty and estery with notes of banana and pear. Thin to medium bodied with lively carbonation. This is a tasty and refreshing summer beer.

Bottle: Pours a golden, lighter honey color with a thick white head with heavy lacing. A pure smell of hops which goes well with a hint of citris. Tastes of a citrisy, lemon and hops which points towards a bread aftertaste.
