3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20Pours a golden yellow with a decent-sized head. Aroma is a complex barrage of hops; very clean. Taste is almost entirely hops, which makes it lose a few points in my book. This is a good brew, but I found that it does best when complimenting a heavy meal, like pizza, burgers, or steak.
3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Light straw colour with thick white head, but dissipated quickly. Very subtle hop aroma. Citrus and pine flavours. Long lingering hop bitterness. Well balanced
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
12oz bottle poured into a tumbler glass.
Almost clear golden color with a small white head.
Cooked cereal aromas, with flora/grassy hops, light citrus and faint honey.
Sweetish light malt flavors, medium bitterness, some grain and faint pear.
Light-med body, easy to drink yet leaves a bit of a harsh note. OK.

Mellow, understated flavour and aroma. This doesn’t scream ’Pilsener’, it whispers it. I’d like to try this as a lawnmower beer on a hot summer day.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from The Pot Still, Glasgow (355ml, £3.00):
Sweet with some grassy hops, some lemon notes and light hops plus a touch of citrus and lemongrass. There is some apple too and overall the beer is light and sweet on the nose.
Clear bodied with a golden amber colour and a thin, foamy white head on top that holds relatively well.
Light malts and a touch of citrus to kick things off, this is all followed by some basic pilsener malts and hops. The beer is crisp with a light bitter finish.
Smooth with some light medium carbonation and a similar body, there is a citrus tang and the beer is crisp, refreshing and light bitter at the end.
Not bad really, it was light and refreshing with nice sweet touches and a nice mouthfeel. The taste was a little light but it went down easy enough and had a pleasant, summery feel to it.

This is another fruity and refreshing beer from Sam Adams. Nice and hoppy and citrusy. Has a slight bitter finish.
