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.

On tap @ brewery during the 2006 GABF open house. MIldly sweet unassuming aroma. Taste is sweet, you get the rice taste at first. Clean finish. An easy drinking beer, preferable to most BMC’s.

A nice golden ale. Aroma was so so with a hint of sweet malt and not much else. Pour was a light gold with a thin white ring for a head that didn’t stay around long. Taste was unoffensive and sweet. Tastes like a sweet Budweiser. If this was very cold and I was at a picnic it couldn’t be beat. I find it odd this is a summer seasonal and it just popped up now in December in Pittsburgh.

12oz bottle courtesy of Degarth. Pours a very lemonade-esq body with only a small white head. Very fizzy in appearance, resolves to a layer of foam. A bit of cloudiness to the body, but no noticeable sediment. Nose of wheat, citrus fruits, sweet malt, some bitter hops and grass. I believe I can smell some adjunct in there, but maybe that’s because I KNOW it’s in there. Flavor is pretty similar, malts and fruits, adding some grains. Med-long finish, bitter and drying. Slightly watery palate, light bodied and crisp. Refreshing. Interesting, but not something I would reach for very often.

Bottle. Looks like urine, has soapy head. Aroma is slightly wheaty. Somewhat creamy, carbonated palate. Not a lot of taste. Little, if no, aftertaste. Disappointed that I have 5 left to drink, but I’ll survive.

Sl. hazy yellow pour. Aroma is really of nothing. Tastes like an average wheat beer even though I know it is made with rice.

Pours a urine colored gold with small fizzy head. Armoa similar to an average macrobrew. Very similar to many american macrobrews because of the use of rice. Nothing special. i was very disappointed considering how much I enjoy the other Great Divide Brews.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of ’Naka. Pours hazy yellow-gold with foamy white head, about a finger thick. Nose of malt with hint of lemon and spice, but not sure where that’s coming from. Taste is odd. Not much there at the beginning. Carbed as all can be. Taste is very bland at first, like a BMC-esque beer, but then lends the tongue a touch of spice, before a muddled, skunky finish/after. Not a bad beer. It’s interesting. I’m not sure I’d seek it out, but I wouldn’t turn one down.

Bottle (12oz). Pale gold, flat-looking, small fizzy diminishing head. Vaguely sweet-smelling, oddly vegetal - like slightly rotten apricots. The taste is ... nothing, really - genericly fruity, a little stale bitterness, maybe a hint of olive? - actually not bad, might be a good summer beer, if really, really cold. Very light, slick, still body, quick finish, no aftertaste. Overall - ehh.
