Halfway refreshing golden-fleeced seasonal benefits from clover honey sweetness and soft lemony orange peel bittering, but glutinous pale wheat stickiness and cloy soda-like finish become stagnant. Soapy backdrop outlasts vulnerable white-peppered coriander-clove spicing.

SAMUEL ADAMS SUMMER ALE
Clean tasting moderate-bodied pale-hazed American wheat ale brewed with lemon and African melegueta pepper conveys fizzy hop-tingled citric-herbal-floral piquancy redolent of Belgian White Ale. Coriander, agave, spearmint, and peppercorn hints shelter sour lemon zest as wee apricot-orange peel-cherry tang gently caresses hindmost violet-jasmine trace. Tea-like hint sways mineral-grained bread-y malt base. Try it with sherbet for true refreshment.
