Drink Beer pick of the week: Sam Adams Summer Ale

Sam Adams Summer Ale
Boston Beer Company
Boston, MA
5.2% ABV
Sam Adam Summer Ale is brewed with lemon and grains of paradise, a “mysterious” spice used in Renaissance brewing. This American-style wheat beer pours a glowing orange-gold with a fluffy head of off-white foam. The mild lemon and yeast in the nose suggest a mellow brew, with only a hint of spice. The taste is tangy and refreshing, smooth and soft on the palate. The wheat lightens the body and adds a faint graininess. With almost no hop bitterness and just a hint of salt, lemon and herbal grassiness, this is a delicate beer that stays out of the way, making it a perfect beer to have with lunch at the beach or after mowing the lawn.
