New beers vary in flavor, quality
August 23, 2007
Here are some reviews of new releases, courtesy of www.ratebeer.com.
Fat Tire: The general consensus is an above-average brew. It has an orange hue with a medium body with a toasty, nutty, caramel flavor.
Miller Chill: Like many mass-produced American beers, this is considered to be fairly low-quality. Lime and salt is refreshing enough, but so is soda or water. Not any noticeable, standout flavor. More like a watered-down margarita without the tequila.
Boulevard Lunar Ale: A new entry into the permanent lineup, Lunar Ale is a mediocre drink with a lightly spicy and nutty flavor. There is not much body or residual sweetness to hold the palette though.
Samuel Adams Summer Ale: Quite bitter and boring tasting. What little citrus flavor there was weak and dissipated quickly.
