Pours crystal clear gold with full head of white foam. The mild aroma emits a mixture of spice and floral hops that seem to border on soapy and even a bit metallic from time to time. A mild sweet maltiness can be noticed underneath the hops. The taste comes across as English with floral hops followed by a spicy hop bitterness. Midway the sweet malts surface for a while until the hop bitterness takes control into the finish. Pale grainy malts make a just noticeable appearance into the after taste.

Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager color. Some piny hop aroma. Taste morphs from a mild initial impact to a gradual medium hop impact. Decent carbonation at the commencement of each sip but it fades rapidly once on the palate. Finish is processed ale with plenty of flavor, for certain.

Pours a clear golden yellow with a white head, about average. Aroma is malty and just slightly fruity, not strong but still appealing. Flavor is malty and a little fruity, just a shade hoppy, fair to middling. Texture is smooth and a little fizzy. A nice mild beer.

pours a nice orange yellow in color with a minimal of head that turns to an impressive lace ring. The aroma is of nice bits of hops with pale malts and grains. The taste is of mild hops and grainy malts. Very little yeast. The mouthfeel is light to medium body it's easy to drink.

Fairly mild English Pale Ale and very tame compared to the American style versions. Nice snappy malt with a touch of noble hops. Fairly dry and refreshing.

A completely average pale ale in every respect. Admittedly, I'm a big fan of Samuel Adams and have come to expect just a little bit more from them... didn't get it here. It's a decent beer - good actually, just nothing distinguishing about it. Average pale ale.

Purchased in Nashville in a mixed 12-pack of Samuel Adams. Pours a golden colour with a hue of orange. Its head is creamy-frothy, mildly off-white, with good retention and decent lacing. Thick patches coat the brew for a while and carbonation is pretty full. The nose is light with malt and notes of citrus. Hop is in the taste, but not in a bitter way, but more in the flavour itself. A little sweet malt is felt as well. Crisp mouthfeel, but thick. I assume that Sam Adams is going for the popular market with this one, being inoffensive, but still delivering a better than average pale ale.
