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.

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.

A lightly hazed blonde ale with a thin white head. A light fruity malt aroma. In mouth, a light bodied wheaty malt, grassy. On tap at brewery, 24 Jan. 2009.

12oz bottle, bottled Dec 16 08. Probably not as fresh as I’d like for this style but whatever. Pours hazy pale yellow with a sudsy white head. Aroma is very subtle. Notes of faint lemon and candy apparent but the overwhelming aroma is of nothing. Flavor is very light. Reminds me of rice pudding, the rice flavor definitely comes out. Certainly unique. I don’t know how to rate this beer. It is certainly unique and interesting but it doesn’t really do much else for me.
