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.

Bottle... Poured yellow/gold with a white head. Citrus aroma. Sweet and citrus fruits in thr initial flavors with some hops. Pretty mild and I guess it would make a decent session. Otherwise nothing going for this ale.

On tap at the brewery, slight hazy yellow hue, with a white head, grainy, corny, honeyed pale malt nose, with raw maltiness, kind of rice sweetness, with some fruity esters in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a light corny, honeyed pale malt character, with some faint fruity citrusy accents, with a mild flowery hop note, leading towards a sweet malty, light lingering hop bitterness finish.

Bottle: Poured a golden yellow with a white head. The aroma was fruity. The flavor was somewhat spicy, clean and refreshing. Overall, a decent brew.

Draught. High white creamy and lasting fluffy head. Hazy yellow body. Weak aroma of barley malt and fruit. Flavor is relatively sweet and fruity but unforttunately also pretty watery. Low carbonation and a short aftertaste.

Pours a cloudy yellow with a small frothy white sudsy foam. Sweet rice aroma with a touch of yeast. Taste is very modest, clean and light, a bit of sake with just a hint of hops. Light mouthful, nice fizzy sizzling fine carbonation, slight creaminess.

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.
