Bottle text & Info:
Samuel Adams® Noble Pils is brewed with all 5 Noble hops for a distinct hop character and fresh taste.  Deep golden in color with a citrusy hop aroma, Samuel Adams Noble Pils is a traditional Bohemian Pilsner.  The honeyed malt character from traditional Bohemian malt is balanced by delicate yet pronounced citrus, floral, and piney notes from the Noble hops.  The winner of our 2009 Beer Lover’s Choice election, this beer was chosen by over 67,000 drinkers for its crisp complexity and refreshing taste.


Tasting Notes:
Pours a clear golden with generous head with good retention. smells of straw and grass notes, showing furious carbonation. Beautiful grass and slight pine notes on the front followed by a nice, toasted, bready malt backbone. Body remains light throughout thanks to the significant carbonation, but not overly so. This is a boatin' beer so it's a shame this one goes out by March, but thank god it replaced that awful wheat beer that was formerly their spring seasonal. a solid offering from sam adams, one of the best i've had from them.
