Samuel Adams Coastal Wheat:
Afternoon all! Today is a beautiful day here in the Fort so lets sample a equally beautiful beer. Perhaps my favorite Sam Adams beer, their Costal Wheat, is the first Sam beer that I actively sought out when it came into my conscience and while I don’t pursue it with the prior vigor (my beer taste has grown since), I do hold a special place for it in my heart. The beer pours very cleanly with a quick to form head that dissipates to the watery thin foam (seems to be a Sam Adams trait) and leaves beautiful lacing on all sides of the glass. The nose of the beer has a nose of wheat, lemon, and a hint of earth. The taste is a good balance of lemon and wheat at the front end and almost no real aftertaste to speak of on the back end. A great summer beer, goes well with the heat and doesn’t need the typical fruiting that most wheat beers need. Add this one to the list of “highly recommended.”
