Wanted to have a Sam Adams beer since I hadn't in a while.
Nose, Look, & Pour - The head is frothy and light and lasted about 20 sec. The hops are immediately apparent with citrus and pine. Pale yellow to straw color.
Taste - Great hopped beer w/o the bitterness. The hops almost have a lime citrus with the pine still around. The malt only arrives in the aftertaste.
Rating - 8
This is a great beer from a semi-popular specialty brewing company. Not everything they make is gold, but this one is. Put it in the "I'm a great IPA" category.
My grading scale
It is subjective, but I think you'll be able to understand where I'm coming from:
1-3 "Horrible" : NEVER BUY THIS!!!! (Or buy it just to see what crappy beer tastes like.)
4-5 "Ok" : These beers need a little work. Usually from a company known for another type of brew.
8-9 "Great" : Try this at least once, you'll be happy you did :D
10!!!!! "Godly" = This is attainable, but the most subjective of all grades. If I ever give a beer a 10 it'll be because it blows your mind.

6-7 "Good": It's ok, for now.
