About the Beer

This American Wheat Ale pours out a nice deep golden yellow color with a nice thick white head and moderate amount of  streaming carbonation retaining the cap. 
 
There is a nice amount of lacing to this brew and it sticks to the side of the glass very well.
 
This beer has damn nice aromas of apricots, fruits, spices and bready malt notes with great balance, complexity and strength. This beer has tastes of cinnamon, apricots, orange,  wheat, floral and yeast earthiness. 
 
It has a light grassy bitterness and yeast spiciness on the finish. German Hallertau Mittelfruh hops provide slight floral and grassy notes in the background. There is also a bit of lemon tartness in the finish that turns out to be a nice palate cleanser.
 
The look of Harvest Hops hit all the right notes – a golden hazy body, topped by a white fluffy head and a nice cascade of bubbles throughout the body.
 
There is nothing overpowering about this brew, it has a super nice balance to it. The mouth feel of this brew is Spicy, Sweet, Smooth, Clean and Refreshing.
 
History
Samuel Adams is the flagship brand of the Boston Beer Company. The brand name (often shortened to Sam Adams)  was chosen in honor of Samuel Adams, its Founding Father. Adams inherited his father’s brewery on King Street (modern day name is State Street). 
 
Some say he was a brewer, while others describe him as a maltster. The Samuel Adams brewery is located in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. Here visitors can take a tour and shop for beers and merchandise. 
 
Samuel Adams beer is brewed by the Boston Beer Company, which was founded by Jim Koch and Rhonda Kallman in Cincinnati, Ohio. Koch comes from a long line of Cincinnati brewers and Samuel Adams beer  was started using a recipe now known as the Samuel Adams Boston Lager.

My Own Rating:

  1. Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the internet
    the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people think about worries that they plainly do not know about.
    You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also
    defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take
    a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
