Fresh sweet hop aroma. Mix of malt flavors coming in and battling the hops out of the way. Mix of hops and malt flavors, but really more of a malt flavor dominated rather than hops. I think I preferred the more hop assertive previous version.

Slight aroma of hops but also nice malt aroma. Clean, crisp flavor that’s a great mix of nice malt flavor and fresh hop flavors. Very nice balance, and not over the top with anything.

Sweet aroma of hops and hint of grapefruit. Taste is hop bite, maybe some grapefruit flavor mixed in. Aftertaste slightly harsh mix of malt and hops leftovers. I don’t think the grapefruit really adds much to the party.
3.5 out of 5 stars.
Full of flowery hop aroma. Sharp hop sweetness with a moderate hop aftertaste that lingers. Can taste a slight watered-down flavor in the aftertaste. Overall, didn’t really care for the spicy hop flavor.

Sweet aroma of fresh hops, slightly sweet malt. Clean crisp taste with a clear hop rawness. Finishes fairly clean with a lingering pleasant hop flavor.

Served in the special Sam Adams glass. Nice fresh, slightly sweet smell. Great full malt flavor with a nice hop bite on the back end of it. Fades out slowly and leaves you with a clean grainy hop taste.
The only way to go with Sam Adams is on tap. Out of a bottle doesn’t do it justice. But beware- a lot of the time on tap it can be too sweet and without that fresh hop bite. Or maybe this custom glass really rocks!

Nice sweet cherry smell. Slight sweet but smooth. Nice balance of wheat and sweet. Leaves with a nice faint sweetness.

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.
