Samuel Adams Noble Pils

Throwback Thursday this week will focus on one of my favorite (former) seasonal beers

There was always one sure sign that spring was coming, and it has nothing to do with a groundhog or leaves on the trees. When Samuel Adams Noble Pils hit the shelves I knew spring was almost here. This former Spring seasonal beer is a German style Pilsner. It’s loaded with floral and citrus hops, with a great sweet bready malt backbone. It has a crisp piney hop note in the after taste making this very enjoyable and easy to drink.

Even though this is now available year round, I have to say I almost never buy it at the store. This has nothing to do with the beer or my personal tastes changing. I still think it’s great, I really enjoyed the bottle I picked up for this review. I just really miss it as a seasonal. That kind of thing shouldn’t matter but this beer was something I really looked forward to having each Spring. No matter how good it is it’s just another beer on the shelf my eyes move past when searching for something to drink.
