First sip is very wheat. You can taste the grains hard, and they fade away to citrus and spice. I have to say that my first impression is a good one. It's crisp and clean. It goes down fast, and it has enough taste to keep you interested while not being overwhelming. It might have a bit too much citrus. Maybe. Only a big swig will be able to tell us for sure.
Time to take one for the team.
Tip-in is more in the nose than in the mouth. The aroma of citrus is very strong, but the taste is very, very mild. Carbonation isn't even a factor through the whole drink. The middle is lightly spices with heavy grains. The grains intensify as the finish starts. The finish really brings those grains home and adds even more spice and citrus. It's a very clean finish.
Bottom Line: It's a decent beer, and I could see knocking back a few of these, but it's not the best that Sam has to offer.
3.5/5
