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.

Not too bad actually. light goldish type color, didnt have much of a head. Very very easy to drink - will definitely give it another try.

Hazy light gold with a tiny, thin white head. Sweet, lagery aroma. Flavor is kind of the same. Crisp and somewhat refreshing, but really a letdown. More of a Beverly Hills Ninja than a samurai. Probably my least favorite of the Great Divide beers.

Bottle from Cellars Larpenteur, St. Paul. Fresh, aleish aroma that is not unlike a Kolsch. Hazy, light gold with a ring of white head. No lace to speak of and head is mostly diminished. Light and crisp with more flavor than you’d expect from a golden ale/blond ale. However, this is Great Divide, so I shouldn’t be surprised when they take a style to the next level. Lightly hopped. A solid session ale that is underrated, although overpriced at Cellars at $9.29 for 6 or $1.99 for a single.

Hazy, yellow-gold-orange, with lots of sediment, huge foamy white head. Looks like soup. Smells like vitamins, sweet, band aids, coriander, pineapple and lemon. Taste is sweet, tart, grapefruit. Lots of carbonation, bitter, drying hydrogen-peroxide ending. Not really sure if I’m drinking a beer or not.

Pale, hazy straw colored with a thick, fluffy white head. Lightly floral nose with a slight touch of melon. Fruity flavor (pear, mostly), combined with a slight graininess anmd a zesty yeast character. Subtle hops in the finish. Nice smooth, light carbonation. A nice lawnmower beer for the dog days of summer, I enjoyed this one.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of MaltOMeal. Slightly hazy, pale golden with a tall and lively, white head leaving some lacework. A little fruity, lightly perfumy nose with a whiff of yeast. Medium body, fresh fruity and rather yeasty. The finish is dry. Quite a refreshing beer really - the yeastiness makes it rather differet from British Golden Ales. 080408

12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a lacing white head. Light citrus peel and rice corn aroma. Flavour is mellow yeasty with a light fruity note. Dominant yeasty really with a fizzy to creamy carbonation mouthfeel. Ends medium dry fruity and yeasty.
