Samuel Adams Summer Ale

Style:American Pale Wheat Ale
Alc %:5.3
Brewery:Samuel Adams (Boston Beer Company)
Country:US
Tap/Bottle?:bottle
Where/When:home, June 2011
Cost:$15 a 6 pack
Rating:6.5

Cloudy pour, orange/yellow- head disappears.
Lemon shines tho not over dominant with what seems like pear to soften it all off.
It's has elements of a wheat beer- wheaty and summery and a little spice at the end.
Sweet and easy to drink with a fairly high carbonation.

I saw this @ Dan Murphy's so thought I would give it a go, even tho it's cooling down a bit here in Sydney. Initially I didn't like it- i thought i could taste something metallic about the 1st bottle I had but after that it grew on me.
Solid, 6.5/10
