Great Divide Samurai

Marshmallowy head that lasted the entire tasting. Golden in color. Slight hop aroma, but it didn’t seem to last past the opening of the bottle. Pleasantly carbonated. Unexpectedly bitter.

Pours a hazy whitish gold (think wit bier), fizzy head diminishes into nothing very quickly. Aroma is predominately PNW hops, a bit of cotton candy, and a very slight veggie note. Flavor is well hopped, typical PNW piney tones initiate, followed by honey, mild toast, nuttiness, and a slight grassy finish. Does not have the typical adjunct flavor I would expect from a beer with rice in it. I like it.

Moderate bitterness, light aroma, an inch of foam all in one bottle of Samurai. It did go well with Nathan’s hot dogs and Final Four basketball.

Bottle. Poured a yellow color with a little white head. No lacing was left on the side of the glass. Aroma was earthy, rice, malts and spice. Flavor was clean and crisp, some bitters in the aftertaste. Very smooth and little body. Very decent for a light, summer beer.

Pale golden pour with white head. Aroma of malt and spices. Clean taste, mildly sweet malt with rice, fruit, and cloves; it has a bit of corn in the slightly bitter finish, almost like Budweiser. Very nice mouthfeel.

This is a very spicy, malty ale. Flavors of straw, corn, a little spicyness like clove. Its not all that bad at all, but its not my style. Almost no hop presence at all.

I wouldn’t mind this in cans. Lawnmower brew. Watery with some citrus and pine. Refreshing.

Bottle. A golden pour with a white head that left light lace. The flavor was full of citrus hops and wheat with a slight malt background. Light body, crisp, and a light bitterness throughout.
