Based on the overwhelmingly positive response from drinkers, New England’s leading independent craft brewer, Samuel Adams, is giving fans another reason to join the “haze craze”: a juicy, hazy beer called New England Pale Ale.
Like Sam Adams’ original New England IPA, the new beer is rich in flavour, and even more sessionable and balanced for easy drinking with friends.
New England Pale Ale was born in the Sam Adams Nanobrewery in Boston, but unlike most New England style beers, it is brewed with hops sourced all the way from the Hallertaü region of Germany, known for being one of the premier hop growing regions in the world.
While most brewers who have tackled this style before use all American hops, Sam Adams brewers searched the globe to find hops with the right citrus profile to amplify the beer.
By adding three new generation German varieties – Mandarina, Mellon, and Blanc – to Mosaic and Citra, the brewers push the juicy, orange flavors further for a more drinkable beer.
With a bold first impression of mango and tropical, fruity aromas, New England Pale Ale follows with big juicy flavour and a clean finish. New England Pale Ale’s 5.5% ABV is slightly lower than its IPA sister brew, resulting in a beer that is more drinkable, with a similarly juicy mouthfeel and fruit-forward flavour distinctive of the New England style.
Jim Koch, Sam Adams Founder & Brewer, on New England Pale Ale said: “In true Sam Adams style, the minute we landed our New England IPA, we began experimenting on the style to play up the juiciness even more, but also to balance it with a soft, clean finish. We put our own touch on the pale ale style by using what we learned from making our Sam Adams New England IPA and then brewing with hops from the Hallertaü region of Germany, giving the beer its unique citrus profile. It’s the perfect balance of drinkability and flavour, and one more reason to love New England.”
The New England Pale Ale will be available beginning January 28, 2019. The beer will be available in four-pack 16 oz. cans within New England for an SRP of $9.99, and in six-pack 12 oz. cans outside of New England for an SRP of $9.99.
