Last week I discussed how I finished my 1/4 barrel of Miller Lite and was debating on what beer to put into my kegerator. I received some suggestions and was happily surprised when I went to the store to look at what was available. They actually had quite a bit of selection. Again, I am somewhat limited as I will never purchase what we know as a full size keg (1/2 barrel). This is WAY too much for me so I am looking for either a 1/4 or 1/6 keg. I was debating between Blue Moon, Pilsner Urquell, Miller Lite again, and Sam Adams Summer Ale.
In the end, I went with the Sam Adams Summer Ale. It was a 1/6 keg so the size was manageable and it was good to get a seasonal beer for the summer time. The beer is bright and citrusy, brewed with Grains of Paradise.
Samuel Adams® describes the Summer Ale as an American wheat ale. This summer seasonal uses malted wheat, lemon zest and Grains of Paradise, a rare pepper from Africa first used as a brewing spice in the 13th century, to create a crisp taste, spicy flavor and medium body. The ale fermentation imparts a background tropical fruit note reminiscent of mangos and peaches. All of these flavors come together to create a thirst quenching, clean finishing beer perfect for those warm summer days.
DELICIOUS!!!

Grains of Paradise?
Whatever. I like the choice and look forward to having a cold one.
Grains of Paradise indeed. Every drop is a pearl.
I have been feeling a little under the weather lately but felt the need to pour myself a half glass of this golden nectar and savor the cool, crisp, citrusy flavors as I sat on my deck overlooking nature's wonders. As I sat there alone with my thoughts, I was thankful for God's natural creations but even more thankful for God creating Jim Koch and giving him the knowledge to create the wonderful deliciousness of paradise that was dancing on my lips.
Stay thirsty my friends!
Grains of Paradise!? How about Loads of G@yness. Here's a suggestion...Next time get a keg of Schlitz Malt Liquor so you can man up. Get a sac you fruity beer drinking fool.
Sorry. The lack of sleep is getting to me. Jim Koch's wonderful creations, Summer Ale included, are like God's gift to us for thirst quenching enjoyment. I love the stuff and it's even better out of the tap. Thanks for sharing.
Loads of Gayness?!? How about God's Sweet Nectar. Your suggestion is duly noted and summarily dismissed as I wouldn't serve my worst enemy that piss water you call Schlitz Malt Liquor.
Friends, I believe we have seen the second coming and his name this time is Jim Koch and he has managed to bottle up a small taste of heaven in each of his wonderful brews. Your welcome for sharing the golden nectar. It is a spiritual experience and reason to rejoice and celebrate.
I love the way you can take things over the top - the cup truly flows over when you are involved.
