While no "Bellaire Brown" from Shorts (MI), the first "brown" I ever enjoyed, Sam Adams has itself another winner with its own Brown Ale.



This beer just screams brown ale from the moment I tasted it. It is a malty beer with deep caramel and nut flavor. Hops? "Noble Spalt from Bavaria" and "citrusy Goldings" from a single farmer in East Kent. And not too many either.

Its another lovely combination - I'd easily take a 12 pack of 6 Irish and 6 Brown but there is plenty more new to taste with the 4 remaining brews.

Score: 9 out of 10

So a theme to my blog has been b's - Birding, Boston, Botany - so I figured why not "Beer". While I'm no lush I do enjoy a good flavorful beer - starting with my latest love Samuel Adams Irish Red.

This beer is part of the brewmaster collection and boasts a rich and malty flavor that originates from Ireland. The carmel malt flavor provides a sweet flavor that balances out the East Kent Goldings hops.

Sam Adams has itself a winner here - as part of my 12 pack 6 beer collection and the first selection I've tried of the group I cannot imagine what else is in store for me. Its a delicious smooth malty beer that provides the consumer a delicious flavor that pairs well with any baseball game or conversation.

9.5 out of 10 overall
