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.

A beer that’s on the light side. Crisp finish with a light hoppy/malt taste, a little on the dry side. Pours cloudy with little head. Not the best from Great Divide.

This has a very pale yellow body, slightly hazed, with a creamy white head. The aroma is faint, a light pale malt with some tinny bitterness. Very spritzy mouthfeel, almost annoyingly so. It tastes like a drink of quinine flavored with essense of malt and a drop of honey. I’m not sure what GD was after here, but it’s not something that I’ll be drinking again.

12oz bottle courtesy of RSRIZZO-A clearo golden body with a decent white head that dissipates into a covering on the beer. Aroma of rice and a sweetness. Taste of dryness, bitterness, and a taste u can’t explain(funk). A different tasting beer but something I would not go out of my way to purchase.

Aroma is a faint sweet scent. Color is a bright clear yellow with very good carbonation and thick white head. Taste is light and clean. Starting with a light body it goes down easy and smooth. Finish comes in with a mildly sweet malt flavor that is more like corn then malt. This is followed by a sour twang and mellow bitterness. Odd beer.

Pours a bubbly clear, very light gold with a medium, but well-retained white head. Not crazy about the smell. Really skunky and grainy smelling. No sembalnses of citrus or hops, but toasted grains. Not a good start. The flavor had more citrus flavor to it, and definitely was better than the smell. Still had a definite funky flavor to it too. Had a mild sweetness in the finish. Overall, skunky and bitter though. Disappointing.

Grainy aroma with hints of light fruit. Light golden color with a large head. Light grape taste with a tanginess. Carbonated palate.

Hazy yellow/gold. Small, frothy, white head. Aroma of crisp graininess and a light dose of airy yeast. Flavor adds some light floral/fruity notes, grainy and lightly bready malt, and a dry, yeasty finish. Medium/light body, just a bit more carbonated than balanced. Very easy to drink, great beach beer.
