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.

Tasted at Brewers Rendevous in Salida. Much too light for me. It did not taste bad was balanced but there wasn"t anything much there.

Draft at the brewery. Pours a hazy amber with a small white head. Aroma is yeasty and sweet with some hoppiness. Flavor is rich and malty, with some wheat and citrus notes. Finishes crisp and clean. Very quaffable but it’s not short on flavor. Great session beer.

I enjoyed the golden and malty Samurai with snacks and sushi. Noting the other rater’s highlights of herbal notes and a crisp finish, the lighter ale was easy to drink.

hazy yellow pour with a thin white head and light trails of lace. smells sweet and grainy along with fruit, grass, earth and yeast. the flavor is quite floral and perfumy with some twig-like herbal dryness and a crisp finish. medium body. airy mouth feel and a bit parching. it’s tasty but it doesn’t satisfy the creature...

Advertised as a rice beer, I was a little leary from the start. It had a medium mouthfeel and a yeasty and spicy banana flavor. Not as good as the other Great Divides that I have had.

2008-06-24. Hazy pastel yellow body, modest white head. Odd aroma, lightly musty grains, presumably its the rice I’m noticing but I wouldn’t have pegged it as such without the label on the bottle. Similar flavour with modest character of dusty grains and cereals, not bad just a little askew. Average palate. Bit dull. Bottle from Mabel’s Seattle trip.

Tried on 2 different occasions from two different barrels...not a fan. Pale golden with thin head. Very light aroma, maybe a hint of sour fruit. Malty sweet, note of apricot fruit. Rice / fruit mix did not work for me. Dry, boring palate. Did not finish either pint.
