#70 Sam Adams - Pale Ale


I found this Sam Adam's beer in the fridge. I've bought 2 multi-packs of Sam Adams so I am not sure where this beer came from. It might be a few months old, which could be taking away from the taste.

This beer has a nice hop aroma with some citrus. There is also some sweetness in the smell, it reminds me of a German beer. The color is a pale straw color. And the head is small but there are plenty of bubbles coming up from the bottom of the glass.

The taste is dry, with lots of hops. I think these are German hops because it keeps reminding me of German beers. I am getting some chalky dryness from this beer, I think it is related to the water source. This beer finished very dry with a little after tastes. The mouthfeel has a little feel from all the carbonation.

I do not like this beer. It reminds me of all the German beers I don't like. Dry and with a hops that I don't like the taste of. Chalky start and a harsh finish. Not an enjoyable beer.
