Nice strong hop, grainy aroma. Very good strong hop taste that hits the taste buds hard but quickly vanishes-like a hit and run driver. Slight aftertaste leaves you wanting another drink, and then your taste buds respond accordingly setting free the appropriate level of mouth-watering effect.
Wow, a Sam Adams beer that actually tastes like a craft beer! Initially, I was worried about the aroma because of a whole lot of nothing going on other than a faint sweet smell. The taste has a good hop flavor with a nice raw/grainy taste to it. A little bit of hop aftertaste. All in all, very nice other than the aroma.
Kind of yucky aroma like body odor, taste starts a bit harsh, but is immediately followed by a nice malt taste. Amazing after all that up front that there’s very little aftertaste. In the end, I’m not sure what to think. After a few more tastes, the malty aftertaste starts to be pretty nice.
