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.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of MaltOMeal. Slightly hazy, pale golden with a tall and lively, white head leaving some lacework. A little fruity, lightly perfumy nose with a whiff of yeast. Medium body, fresh fruity and rather yeasty. The finish is dry. Quite a refreshing beer really - the yeastiness makes it rather differet from British Golden Ales. 080408

12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a lacing white head. Light citrus peel and rice corn aroma. Flavour is mellow yeasty with a light fruity note. Dominant yeasty really with a fizzy to creamy carbonation mouthfeel. Ends medium dry fruity and yeasty.

Lasting white head covers the clear light golden robe. Not very smelly at all, husky, candied light malts do have that ricey kick, while softly peppery hops have no pretension to add more character than it already has. Light and thin bodied, rather sweet and dull.
