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.

Nopt really that ’’different’’. Certainly clean and crisp (impact of rice?). Otherwise watery and unfulfilling. Bottle looks nice. Is that worth any points?

12oz @ Hopjacks downtown Pensacola FL. Was really loud so didnt catch a lot of the notes (very bad place to taste beer). From what I remember it was very sweet with light hops. Some banana and orange. I think what I remembered was that it porely represented a golden ale but was still pretty tasty.

Draught at the brewery. Cloudy golden coloured with a creamy white head. Fruity aroma of hops and spices with notes of candies. Fruity flavour of hops, spices and candies. Hoppy finish.

Light, clear, bitter unfiltered ale. Almost tastes like a bitter hoppy wheat, but doesn’t have the aroma of hops or the good aftertaste. Not too bad, not too great

Pours a hazy yellow with a large white froth. The aroma is slightly herbal from the hops. There is a light maltiness, but there’s a bit of creosote resin in the finish that’s off-putting in a beer this light.

bottle poured a lightly hazed golden color with little white head. aroma is sweet, wheat, grainy, and a bit of clover. mouth feel is thin with average carbonation. flavor is very grainy with the rice coming through. mild hops and yeast are the highlights here.

Looks like slightly cloudy Heineken. There is a bit of fruity hops in the aroma and perhaps a hint of some belgiany yeastiness or breadiness. The flavor is uninteresting, a touch of caramel malt. I thought this was a lager until I read the label more carefully. Pretty piss poor.
