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.

Bottled in the 2nd week of June. Poured hazy brighter golden with a moderate cap of well-retained creamy white head. The aroma picked up sweet, dusty bready notes with light floral hoppage and a hint of light fruits. The flavor found bready and vegetal notes at the core with light, crisp fruity and floral bitterness.. some sort of adjunct on the back-end (perhaps corn).. sweet finish with more of the veggies and adjuncts.. not so tasty. Light-bodied and crisp on the palate, but it just didn’t feel too good. I could’ve done without this.

A 12 oz bottle with notch system to tell you the day it was made on. The beer poured a golden body with a slight haze to it, big fluffy white head. A floral smell with a bread backing. The taste of medium hops and a crisp clean mouthfeel. Good carbonitation and lacing.

Courtesy SoLan. Pours a clear, light golden color with tons of carbonation. Medium, pure white head with good retention. Leaves behind random flares of microbubble lace. Aroma is light and grainy, showing sweet bready yeast, rice syrup, and hints of lemongrass. The flavor is crisp, with sharp citrus notes contrasting with sweet yeast and hints of mirin. Medium bodied and a little syrupy. Intensely fizzy mouthfeel that, combined with a slightly astringent finish, is somewhat unpleasant. Decent at best. Not something I would reach for again.

Aroma of cooked corn. Moutfeel is fizzy. Grainy, light mouthfeel with an odd sweet rice flavor and a buttery finish.

Got this on recommendation from the guy at the Spuyten Duyvel Grocery. Pours a nice gold with a fizzy head. The aroma is pretty nice.. definitely it’s most striking quality. Citrus, light hops and yeasts combine in a simple and refreshing way. The flavor left a little to be desired, though.... TOO simple, in my opinion. Not a bad beer, but not something I’m going to bother with again.

A beer that’s on the light side. Crisp finish with a light hoppy/malt taste, a little on the dry side. Pours cloudy with little head. Not the best from Great Divide.

This has a very pale yellow body, slightly hazed, with a creamy white head. The aroma is faint, a light pale malt with some tinny bitterness. Very spritzy mouthfeel, almost annoyingly so. It tastes like a drink of quinine flavored with essense of malt and a drop of honey. I’m not sure what GD was after here, but it’s not something that I’ll be drinking again.

12oz bottle. poured crazy head only capable of jredmonds lips. dry, bitter, spicy twangy finish... sounds good, but its pretty forgettable.
