SAM ADAMS SUMMER ALE and LATITUDE 48

SAM ADAMS SUMMER ALE and LATITUDE 48
Brewed with wheat malt, lemon zest and Grains of Paradise (a West African spice), the Sam Adams Summer Ale has a crisp, spicy flavor and body, followed with a citrusy finish.  The Latitude 48 is an IPA style, brewed with a blend of hops from top German, English and American growing regions, all located near the 48th latitude along the “hop belt” of the Northern Hemisphere.  This combination of hops creates a distinctive, yet not overpowering, hop character.  The Latitude 48 is dry hopped with Ahtanum, Simco and East Kent Golding hops for a powerful citrus and earthy aroma, while balanced by a slight sweetness and full body from the honey malt blend.  It will be included in the Samuel Adams Summer Styles variety pack which retails for $13.99 to $15.99 per 12-pack.  Retail for the Sam Summer is $7.99 per 6-pack.  Both beers are available through August from Atlas Distributing, Burke Distributing, Commercial Distributing, L. Knife & Son, and Merrimack Valley Distributing.
