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.

12oz bottle from Lukas Liquors. Pours hazy light golden with fizzy white head. Aroma is grainy with rice and some light fruits. Flavor is grainy with light spices and rice. Nice attempt at japanese rice lager. Would be good with sushi.

Bottle. Pours a hazy yellowish gold color. The nose contains a somewhat spicy aroma, grains, corn. Flavor is grains, hint of strawberries, light fruitiness. Mouth is pretty carbonated and somewhat dry.

I thought a kolsch, maybe. Cloudy gold color. Light malt body with corn, rice, and surprisingly, some salt. This is very drinkable and there are no flaws, and it is certainly a few steps above a pale yellow lager.

Very pale yellow beer with a white head. Aroma is sour and fruity. Maybe it’s just me, but it called to mind rotting apricots and was very offputting. The beer itself was inoffensive, light, and refreshing. Slightly hoppy, but mostly the grain and rice flavor comes through. I’d like this a lot more without the poor aroma.

12oz bottle into a pint glass. Light, somewhat fruity, interesting, and unique. This isn’t something I would want to drink all the time, but it’s definitely interesting and worth a try.

Pours a transparent golden yellow with a decent amount of standard white head. Aroma of apricot and a bit of yeast. Flavor has a nice amount of fruit to it, as well as malt and hops. Light and a bit thin.

Has a bright yellow color and is mostly clear. I can smell malts, yeast, and a slight citrus aroma. Taste is full of carbonation, with flavors of malts and hops. Has a little bite in the end. This one is nothing too special.
