Samuel Adams Highlights New 2013 Beers, Spring Thaw Variety Pack & Brewing the American Dream

From Samuel Adams:

As we turn the page on another year of brewing, we’re excited to hit the ground running in 2013. Last month in the December newsletter, we announced this year’s spring variety pack will include Boston Lager, Alpine Spring, Irish Red, and a few new styles including Maple Pecan Porter (available exclusively in this pack) and two more new year-round styles, Double Agent IPL and White Lantern!

Our brewers have given the IPA a new identity, creating an India Pale Lager (IPL) – Double Agent IPL. Double Agent hits your palate with a citrusy hop character from the Citra and Cascade hops, and notes of grapefruit and orange with a hint of sweetness from Zeus hops. To round out this citrus character we also used some Nelson Sauvin hops from New Zealand. The final result is a boldly hoppy and flavorful brew but with an unconventionally crisp and smooth lager finish.

With a combination of tangy citrus sweetness and a hint of peppery spice, Samuel Adams White Lantern is perfect brew for white ale lovers. Enriched with a crisp wheat character, this hazy white ale gives you a refreshing brew that’s has just the right balance of citrus and spices (including Grains of Paradise and coriander).

Since 2008, Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream has been providing food, beverage, and hospitality small business owners as well as craft brewers with the essential ingredients to start, strengthen and grow their businesses. Together with our partner Accion, the country’s leading non-profit microlender, we provide loans, coaching and access to networks that help small businesses succeed.
