Sam Adams Revolutionary Rye Ale
From the bottle:
The rye in this deep reddish-hued ale adds a spicy finish to the slight sweetness of the roasted male. Light pine and citrus notes fro German and American hops complement these flavors, making this medium bodied brew perfect for the transition from winter to spring.
I’m sure the citrus accounts for the bitterness, I could detect any pine, but I haven’t been licking any two by fours lately – I keed, I keed. I think the rye is a bit surprising and adds a lot of substance to this beer. It reminds me a bit of Killian’s Irish Red, but yet different and that’s not a bad thing.
I purchased this beer at the Giant Eagle in Lyndhurst as part of a Sam Adams variety pack. Twelve beers, 2 bottle of six types, for $15.99.

Coronado Brewing Company – Orange Avenue Wit
The Orange Avenue Wit is cloudy in appearance with a very aromatic head. It has hints of orange blossom and spice on the nose, a light/medium bodied mouth feel with an orange and honey finish.
This would be a perfect beverage relaxing outdoors or tailgating before a show.
This was purchased at Vons in Carlsbad for$4.49 for a 22oz. bottle.
Samuel Adams – Noble Pils
Sam Adams Noble Pils
From the bottle:
…is one of the only brews made with all 5 Noble hops from the world’s oldest growing regions.
I could see myself enjoying a Sam Adams Noble Pils with a nice juicy burger, something substantial to offset the hops.
