Label Reads: "This unfiltered wheat ale is a fresh American version of a classic Belgian white ale. An intricate blend of unusual spices creates its distinctive and refreshing taste. White Ale is unfiltered and displays a beautiful cloudy haze with a fine sediment at the bottom of the bottle. Cheers!", "A perfect pairing. Samuel Adams White Ale is the perfect pairing for well spiced food like Thai or Indian. The unique blend of ten spices in our White Ale enhances the flavours of these exotic cuisines".

Handwritten notes: I've already bought the beer, Sam (can I call you Sam? Good.), so you don't need to "sell" me on it. Enough with the labels. In this beer there's only a hint of Sam Adams' special flavouring (being two heaping fist fulls of hops per bottle). Surprisingly easy to drink. No need to add orange peel, coriander, and bat feces (guano) to dominate the taste in this white. Best North American white I've had yet.
