Commercial Description:
Looking for something a little different? Brewed with rice and barley malts, Samurai is an easy drinking, unfiltered ale that changes the status quo for unfiltered beers. The addition of rice gives Samurai a slightly fruity, crisp, refreshing and clean taste. This is definitely not your everyday unfiltered beer.

Seems a teeny bit underrated. Nose is almost non-existent, color is golden but standard, flavor is hugely reminiscent of sake bombs. Um... color me nostalgic.

Interesting.....and not really in a good. Had a light, almost pale ale like flavor, but the rice add something that is similar to a bad mass-produced lager, which is not surprising since rice is a widely-used adjunct. Did not like it.

has a mild fruit/hop aroma, taste is a little hoppy, really just tastes like a well hopped pale ale.

Smells a little like notebook paper and sun scorched driftwood. Very very soft on the nose. Slight haze to the golden color, little head. I get some kind of a minute rice starchy thing going on here and it’s distracting. I love where they’re going here but this blond isn’t for me though I still like it for what it is and would be proud to have it in my fridge.

Bottle courtesy of unclemike. Pours a cloudy yellow with white head. Aroma of citrus, faint malt. Flavor has signs of citrus, faint malt. Mouthfeel is light-medium body with high carbonation. Not bad.

Bottled. A hazy light golden berr with a thick lazing white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of rice and citrus. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of rice and light flowery notes of hops as well as a touch of yeast. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.
