Samuel Adams Porch Rocker

This 4.5% ABV beer is a Radler or Shandy, a combination of beer and lemon juice. This style is increasingly popular among American brewers in the last couple of years. This one is from Samuel Adams, of the Boston Beer Company of Boston, Massachusetts.

The beer pours golden in color, with a touch of honey color. There is nearly an inch of pure white foamy head. The aroma is lemon juice and lemon zest on top of light toasted malt. There is a bit of bitterness on the finish and it is fairly dry. A good refresher, true to the style.
