thehinge (244), Wilmington, Delaware, USA Nov 1, 2009 This is a nice little ale....really kind of reminds me of a lager. Spicey and sweet overtones. I would buy this again, though I don’t know how many of the Sam brews get brewed on a constant basis. RasterMaster (120), , Oklahoma, USA Oct 22, 2009 Golden amber pour into thick foamy head that dissipates into sticky lacing that melts into a pool of foam as carbonated bubbles rise from the bottom of the glass. Heavy aroma of hops as soon as the cap came off the bottle. Initial flavor of malty fruit, roasted walnuts, caramel and hints of spice fading to a bitter hoppy finish. JanVittrup (138), København V, Denmark Oct 20, 2009 Nice filtered amber, some head retained.
sweet aroma, discreete complexities.
Quite hoppy right on the tongue, but nice exit, not too lingering.
Thin body, fizz.
Fairly nice. Great in the long drink.
Purchased in SuperBrugsen, Halmtorvet. DonKi11uminati (43), , Indiana, USA Oct 19, 2009 Bottle. The nose doesn’t have much, perhaps some copper and malt. The flavor is crisp, a bit bitter and a little malty. Some hops present. I like the crisp, clean flavor and medium-light body, but I’d like there to be more flavors going on here. phaleslu (423), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Oct 19, 2009 Draft from Sam Adams Celebrates Cincinnati in concourse A of terminal 3 at CVG. Pours amber with a medium off-white head. Like the Octoberfest I tried right before it, the nose wasn’t giving me much- notes of hops, malt, and metal. The flavor was an improvement, though more of the same along with a touch of fruit and spice. Slightly bitter, light body, and dry on the finish. Okay, but I’d rather have the Boston Lager. jeremytoni (1067), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA Oct 14, 2009 From a bottle poured brown with a small head. Bitter hoppy flavor with a quick finish. Enjoyit (1695), Vadum, Denmark Oct 5, 2009 Unclear amber of color with an off white head. An aroma of malt, metallic and weak hops. A flavor of malt, apples, hops, bitter and grainy. killjoy966 (215), Washington, USA Oct 2, 2009 Amber-brown in color with a thick head and plenty of lacing. Modestly bitter. Not much malt of aroma. I think I like the Sam lager better.
