Notes / Commercial Description:
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.

Light straw color is a bit hazy with bright white head that disappears quickly with no lacing remaining. Don't get much of anything on the smell. Taste is light, hoppy bitter.

Brilliant golden hued with with vibrant carbonation bubbles erupting from the depths. There's a fingernail of creamy eggshell white on top. The aroma is of light bready malt and grassy hops. The flavor is a very delicate and subtle blend of faintly sourdough to honey malt with just a hint of grassy hops. The mouth is light and crisp.
