Description:

Samuel Adams® Imperial White is a new perspective on the classic witbier style. Witbiers are normally light and refreshing with a fruity finish and we wanted to see how these characteristics would stand up when we amped up the recipe. We were totally blown away by the flavors that were created by this beer.

This is not just a more intense version of our spring seasonal Samuel Adams® White Ale. Imperial White is a new recipe that stands on it own merits. In fact, it is more of a wine substitute than just another refreshing witbier. This is a beer that should be sipped and savored and you’ll be amazed at the flavors you’ll discover as the beer warms and opens up.

Due to legal restrictions, the Samuel Adams Imperial Series beers are not offered in the states of Alabama, Idaho, Iowa, Mississippi, Montana, South Carolina and West Virginia.

Appearance - 4.0

A peach and grapefruit colour under bright light like a mix of amber and ruby red. White head which leaves streaks down the sides of the glass and a light/medium carbonation floating to the top.

Aroma - 2.5

Definite citrus aroma with heavy coriander.

Mouthfeel - 2.5

Very thick and heavy in the mouth, adding to the alcoholic taste.

Taste - 2.5

A strong heavy taste mixing bitterness with a sweet syrupy taste, coriander noticeable in the mix. The last flavor I detect is the citrus.

Overall - 3.0

Overall an ok beer. Very heavy and meant for the winter months to help warm you up. Definitely something you sip and only have one or two of during a sitting.
