    Samuel Adams – Revolutionary Rye Ale

    Sam Adams Revolutionary Rye Ale

    Sam Adams’ Revolutionary Rye Ale is a reddish beer with a very hoppy flavor and slight bitter aftertaste.
    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.

    Sam Adams’ White Ale is a nice light tasting beer that produced a surprisingly thick head of foam in my pint glass. The beer has a nice smooth texture and is quite enjoyable. From the bottle:

    This unfiltered wheat ale is a fresh American version of a classic Belgian white ale.

    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. If the rest are as good as this one, it was money well spent.
