Pale Wheat Ale (Summer Ale) - Samuel Adams - $2.25 (stolen from beer fest)

Mood: just wanted to experiment and try it. (Stolen from beer fest)
Where to Buy: LCBO

Price: $13.60 (6pack)

Beer Type: pale wheat ale

Ingredients: lemon peel, grains of paradise, malted wheat.

Country: USA

%: 5.5%

ml: bottle

Appearance: Wheaty. Dark golden.

Smell: wheaty, but with a hint of lemon zest

Taste: light. Nothing too strong or overpowering. All pretty balanced. Hint of spice and cooked lemon. Very neutral though. Not many bubbles either (wasn't chilled)

Mouthfeel: bubbly, turns into velvety bubbles, stays strong to the cooked lemon taste on mouth (doused in beer!)

Finished: s
picy aftertaste, also tastes like cooked lemon aftertaste. Stays with you in mouth. Not harsh or strong though, also quite a neutral/bitter finish (like the neutral smoothies!)

Overall: surprisingly good due to its neutral flavour.  Not a beer to drink if really craving one, doesn't really have a beer taste, more a subdued flavour.  I would definitely buy this if it is an option for summertime drinking.

8/10
