Sam Adams Light

Medium

Medium carbonation, lingering wheaty after taste. Refreshing, but not memorable.

Sam Adams Rustic Saison

Light lager taste, nothing special. Light carbonation.

Sam Adams Latitude 48 IPA

Medium

A very mellow IPA. Great aroma, not a lot of hop bitterness. Makes a great session beer. If it wasn't labeled an IPA, I'd easily mistake it for an amber. It's really delicious though!

MacTarnahan's Amber Ale

Solid amber I found at Pyramid Brewery in Berkeley. The bartender was telling me that Pyramid had bought out MacTarnahan's, a brewery in Portland Oregon. The amber was delicious. It had good hops, a full malty body, and just the right amount of carbonation without overwhelming you. It also made a great accessory to Pyramid's awesome mega-nachos.

Warning: Don't get the amber that's nitrous carbonated. It's not nearly as good. It just tastes flat and boring in comparison.

Trader Joe's Vienna Style Amber Ale

Pretty label, cheap price ($6 for 6), but doesn't taste like much. I'd skip it.

Mission St. Brown Ale

A good deal at $2 for a 22oz, but I really didn't like it. There was a good amount of flavor, but it just didn't happen to be good flavor. For once, I actually preferred this brewery's hef rather than their brown ale.
