SAMUEL ADAMS

SUMMER ALE, PORCH ROCKER,
DOWNTIME PILSNER and HONEY QUEEN

There are several new seasonal releases. The Summer Ale is a medium-bodied brew that is crisp and citrusy with a hint of spice on the finish. The Porch Rocker is an interpretation of the classic Bavarian-style Radler – a crisp Helles-style straw-blonde German lager that combines light maltiness and hop notes with a hand-crafted lemon blend. Downtime Pilsner is a new, limited release brew with fruit, citrus, and tangerine notes as well as hints of black pepper and melon with a crisp finish. The Honey Queen is a Braggot, a medieval style dating back to the 12th century. A blend of mead and beer, it is brewed with three varieties of honey as well as chamomile. Available from Atlas Distributing, Burke Distributing, Commercial Distributing, L.Knife & Son, and Merrimack Valley Distributing.
