Sam Adams Noble Pils

[robert4136]

it seems to me like they are using the same east coast lager strain. Everything is good about the beer but at the end it still tastes like a sam adams to me. Just like they do for every style, noble pils has that very distinct sam adams stamp all over it. I noticed this much more from the bottles than on tap.

For a non-sam adams fan this is as good as it gets

and

joking or not joking, the video blogger is most definitely a douche bag

Good beer! Can't beat it for the money!

I picked up a six, and have tried it on two occasions as the first beer of the tasting.

It's a good pils, not a great one. Compared to American Pilsner Urquell I rate them about even. It falls short of genuine Czech Pilsner Urquell, and way short of Czech Gambrinus. It also seems to have a Sam Adams "house flavor". Perhaps that's unavoidable.

I don't get the "5 Noble Hops" though.

This was tripping me up every time I saw the commercials too, I'm fairly new to brewing but I was pretty sure their are only 4 noble hops. Either way I like the beer, its cool to see them try a different direction with their beers.

I was under that impression too, but wikipedia says that polish lublin is also noble

I think you're gonna need more than one beer for all that.
