Samuel Adams White Ale

Poured with an orange hue, but a good looking cloudy, unfiltered appearance. Half-decent head and some sticky, if somewhat conservative lacing.
Spiced and smooth aroma, with a really quite full mouthfeel. Chunky on the palate.
Taste is where things start getting complicated. I get a certain initial spice (maybe coriander), but this rapidly changes in to a wild peppermint!? The peppermint to me is very strong and overpowering. My imagination? I don’t know, but it was very odd!
Pretty refreshingly drinkable as long as it’s a warm day and the beer is NOT served at a freezing temperature (let it warm a little). A bit harsh on a cold day.
Not your typical Wit, either in terms of color or in terms of taste, but worth investigating nonetheless.
