Pours a pale yellow so clear that I can watch tv through the glass. The head is originally frothy and about an inch thick, but settles down quickly. The aroma is very citris like, with maybe some other spices present. The taste is overly citrusy. It tastes like a slightly malty lemonade more than a beer. Maybe better in a different seasonal, I'm not sure why this is in the winter mix pack with a bunch of malt forward beers. This reminds me more of the summer ale or the coastal wheat than anything.

Serving type: bottle

Love this beer. Could just be my personal tastes changing a bit over time, but I remember it being slightly better when it was a spring seasonal. Again, not sure if it's actually changed, or it's just me.

Whenever I've gotten the beer on tap, it always has a nice head, and there seems to be a lot going on in the beer. Hints of orange, a good amount of typical Sam Adams flavor, and even a hint of ginger.

Feel good on the tongue, not too dry. Very refreshing, yet tasty at the same time. Still excellent in a bottle, but better on tap.

Serving type: on-tap
