Sam Adams White Ale

INFO:
Sam Adam's White Ale is another seasonal brew from the Sam Adams Winter Classics Variety Pack. Like the Fezziwig Ale I blogged about previously, I also ended up picking this over the summer in NY, however, this beer can be purchasd by itself from Sam Adams, during November to January, if you so desired. One fun fact I learned from reading the about the beer on the Sam Adam's site was that is was first produced in the year of my birth; who knew?


Year: 2010
ABV: 5.6%
From: 12oz bottle (chilled), and poured

DRINKING NOTES:
COLOUR: light golden colour
FOAM: light of white foam (poured about 1/2 an inch) quickly dissipated

SMELL: slightly hoppy smell hint of earthy/floral notes

TASTE:
(initial) mild slightly floral taste

(body) light and smooth (but also lacks body)
(aftertaste) slightly bitter after taste
