Summer Beers: Summer Ale vs Blackberry Wittbier


These are both Sam Adam's products . One is the standard summer Ale, made with douche of paradise, and some lemon or something. The Blackberry Wittbier is a bit more interesting.The Witt is clear straw with a hint of color. The nose is blackberry and mild hop tones. The Summer is straw with honey and spice. The Witt is nice and crisp with fresh berry, honey and tingly hop throughout. This Witt is pretty nice. It's very drinkable, refreshing and flavorful. The Summer has honey, citrus and a weird spice flavor. It has that left out in the sun flavor and is everything I dislike in most summer beers. I don't much care for this beer, but if you like unpleasant off flavors you might like this. The Witt is worth checking out , but it is only really good compared to this other mess. Still I might pick up a six.
