This beer is included in the current Samuel Adams Harvest Collection variety pack.
Brewer description: Inspired by mild ales of the English railway boom, Samuel Adams Ruby Mild is a smooth, sweet, malty brew with a hint of ruby color and delicate hop note.
SRM 11
IBU 20
ABV 5.7%
At 5.7% this beer is no mild. However, despite being mislabeled, I really like it. The beer has a great mix of fruity esters and caramel malt flavors. Sam Adam color description is right on. This is a very pretty beer with great clarity. Overall, I found myself wishing for more than 2 bottles of Ruby Mild in this mix pack.
Meanwhile, I continue to wait for good commercial milds and session beers for days when I want to cut calories but still want a beer.
