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 at the brewery. This beer is really standard and unexciting and gets completely average marks all around. Pours slightly hazy yellowish-golden with a small white head. Aroma is rice and pale malt, slightly sweet and very unpronounced. Flavor is mild with rice, pale malt, light fruits, and a slightly alcoholic sake note. Crisp and fairly light on the palate. Not sure what they were going for here, but it is refreshing I guess.

draft at the brewpub - Pours cloudy white-yellow with a mild, malty aroma and what I guess is rice. The flavor is light and somewhat sweet with the rice apparent and a lingering mild hops bitterness. I wrote that it seems kind of wheaty, but from the description there isn’t any wheat malt in it, so that must just be the rice. It’s a decent brew but not really my thing.

(bottle - 12 oz) Slightly hazy golden pour with a creamy white head. Aroma is dry and slightly sweet with some notes of yeast. Flavor is mild but the rice is rather apparent. Leaves a slightly fruity but dry taste on the tongue. Interesting and very refreshing.

I’ve tried a few rice beers and this one seems to be the best so far. You can actually taste that little bit of difference between this and a wheat beer. Finishes smooth and pretty good with any kind of food.

This beer was a strange one. I had a sample of this at the tap room at Great Divide. They also had bottles of it so it should be in stores soon. It was a light yellow in color and cloudy. The taste reminded me of a wheat beer. It did seem like a good beer for a hot day, possibly a barbecue. Serving type: on-tap Reviewed on: 06-11-2007 21:20:40
