Sam Adams did a great job with this refreshing any-day kind of drink.  The Alpine Spring surprised me with a muddled, honey-yellow appearance and an extremely smooth tongue feel. A very clean, but slightly foresty finish... I haven't really had a beer with pine elements before, but this came through at the end for an unexpected surprise. 

This has a lot of earthy scents, and paired very nicely with yet another changing season for the Dancing Dragon Dungeon. Even though the season this time was Autumn, I was whisked away with this beer from my tiny apartment in Queens to a Northeastern suburb, during the crisp fall with a freshly cut lawn.  I pleasantly enjoyed this, and was very surprised.This also followed with an extremely clean and crisp finish, which was surprising for a medium bodied ale. 

In spite of how nice the beersperience was (see the word I just made there?) this level was a convoluted jerk. It was nice to be as distracted as I was by this level, but ultimately, it was more frustrating in the long run. 

This beer would be excellent for day dreaming on a medium temperate day.
