Our Tastes-- Samuel Adams James Madison Dark Wheat Ale

Now he's getting the hang of it. Next in the Brewer Patriot Collection is the James Madison Wheat Ale, batch #3. This mahogany beer has a great slightly sweet aroma, foamy head and foam legs like a beer on a catwalk! I love the label with the single horse pulling 7 barrels for the beer man. They used malted rye to balance out the hand-smoked roasted malted barley (red and white oak from Orange Co, VA from land once owned by Madison) in this one and it is really nice. Madison apparently thought about a proposal for a national brewery. I would have too if I made beer this good. No abv given on the website but it has to be around 5.2% and pairs with anything grilled. OK Jim 1-2, buddy. Whether you agree with his politics at the time the 4th POTUS could brew with the best of them.
