Has anyone tried Samuel Adams Summer Ale?

Question

Is it good? What does it taste like?

Answer 1

Here are well over 700 opinions on the beer coming from beer drinkers.

I personally find it to be light on the tongue, a little doughy and tart, with a nice bite of hops and lemon flavor zang in the finish (the beer supposedly uses lemon zest but lemon is a common flavor in some hops).  It also supposedly uses Grains of Paradise but I didn't get a whole lot of notable spice character from the beer, at least not more than I would generally attribute to yeast.  It's a real clean beer overall.  That's my opinion at any rate...

Answer 2

Yeah...But Light Lime is also a good summer lime-y flavour.

Answer 3

it is ok.

Answer 4

If you like Sam Adams Boston Lager  you probably like this.. it's a lot lighter and slightly lemon flavored.  I like it, but I Sam Adams to begin with.

Answer 5

It is good, its got a light lemony taste to it.

To make it really slamming, pour it into a glass with a big wedge of orange.

You should always pour your Sam Adams into a glass, drinking from the bottle is fine, but you lose alot of the complexity of the flavors.

Answer 6

Answer 8

Answer 9

Yes. I like it. It tastes like a light wheat ale with lemon zest and coriander, and the grains of paradise make it taste different but I don't know how to describe it.

Give it a try.

Answer 10

I really like it.  It's a wheat beer and has a citrusy flavor to it.  It's a little thick and fairly sweet with a little bit of that wheaty bitterness.  I like it with a lemon or orange slice to add a little more citrust and freshness.  It generally has a good head on it, too.
