Inspired by mild ales of the English railway boom, this Ruby Mild is a smooth, flavorful brew with a malty sweetness and delicate hop note. The blend of 7 malts in this malt-forward beer, including English Marris Otter, imparts a sweet note and subtle ruby color while the UK hops add a mellow bitterness.

Location: 12 oz bottle from a Spec's, 9/23/13
Aroma: The nose has some caramel malts, nutty notes, bread, and some light hops
Appearance: It pours an amber color with a small head and some decent lace
Flavor: The taste is much the same medium sweet, malty, and with a mild hoppiness
Palate: This one has a lightish body, with some decent drinkability, and a decent mouthfeel
Overall Impression: I thought this one was okay, but not great. A solid offering from the Sam Adams fall pack that really won't do much too impress anyone.

12oz bottle. At 5.6% and with its heavily carbonated copper body, this sure doesn’t scream traditional mild. It makes sense in the context of the US beer world I suppose, smooth medium body, really minimal hop character. At the same time, sort of tastes like one of these Amber beers big companies try to push, albeit with a little better ingredients, general feel. It isn’t outright bad or off, just very uninspired.

12 ounce bottle from the Harvest Collection pack. Pours a clear dark amber color with a medium sized frothy tan head. Fair head retention. Aroma of caramel malts, nutty notes, mild hops. The taste is toasted malts, butter, herbal hops. Medium bodied.
