SAMUEL ADAMS
Sabor a malta, ligeramente dulces con notas de caramelo, con un trasfondo de especias y lúpulo. La Samuel Adams Boston Lager presenta un rico equilibrio de sabor y aromas que se caracteriza por los sabores predominantes de la malta y el lúpulo. La cerveza Samuel Adams es una cerveza que posee el sabor y el carácter de una cerveza tipo ale y la suavidad de una lager.
El color suele indicar el grado de tostado de la malta: cuando más oscura sea la cerveza, más se ha tostado la malta. El rico color ambarino proviene de la mejor cebada cervecera de verano, con una nota de malta caramelo.
Es clara y brillante. La cabeza de espuma de la Samuel Adams debe ser sustanciosa y firme y formar un collar alrededor del vaso. Debería poderse hacer flotar sobre ella la chapa de la botella! Si el vaso está limpio y libre de grasa y residuos, observará que la espuma se adhiere a la pared del vaso. Esto es lo que se llama "encaje belga" y es otro indicador de su calidad.
En la elaboración se utilizan dos de las más exquisitas y costosas variedades de lúpulo de Baviera: la variedad Tettnang Tettnanger y la Hallertau Mittelfrueh es lo que le da ese carácter cítrico, floral y a pino, desde la nariz hasta el final. Todos los otoños, los maestros cerveceros de Samuel Adams seleccionan a mano estos elegantes lúpulos.
La temperatura de consumo debe ser entre 8º - 10ºC y acompaña a platos de pato o conejo.
GOLDEN PILSNER
Pilsner is one of the great traditional beer styles: a medium-bodied brew with a well-rounded, crisp flavor, and a crystal clarity.
Tasting Notes
Samuel Adams Golden Pilsner is classically German, brewed with Saaz, Hallertau Northern Brewer, and Spalt Spalt hops for a subtle hop finish and a balanced dryness. Two-row and caramel malts give this beer a soft palate and a medium body.Golden Pilsner is a clean, crisp, beautifully balanced beer that is delicious with seafood, pork, veal, chicken, and mild cheeses.
Pale Ale is a classic English beer style, possessing a crisp malt character with a subtle richness. "Pale" refers to the malt that was used in brewing, which was lightly roasted, compared to the highly roasted malts used to brew porters. The result is a beer that is amber to deep amber in color.
Tasting Notes
Sam Adams Pale Ale is a delicious, light-bodied beer with a delightfully fresh taste. The unique blend of two-row Harrington, Vienna, Caramel 60 and Chocolate malts adds complexity, as well as a nice amber color. The ale yeast gives it a crisp and fruity fermentation character, and East Kent Goldings and Fuggles hops impart an authentic British ale flavor.Pale Ale tastes great with grilled foods, spicy Mexican dishes, or a big bowl of New England clam chowder.

Available: January – March. Appreciate Double Bock's strong malt and caramel character. We use an enormous amount of malt, half a pound per bottle, to brew this intensely rich lager. Despite the malt quantity, Double Bock is uniquely smooth. The deep brown-ruby color is all made in the kettle -- no black malt is used. As a result, the rough taste of burnt malt is absent. All that remains is the smooth velvet flavor of costly two-row malt. Double Bock's intense malt character is balanced with Tettnang and Saaz hops, which are used in roughly the same proportion as in Samuel Adams Boston Lager. This rich lager has a dry, faintly smoky finish. Serve Double Bock with patés, chicken, and wild mushrooms. This is a beer that will take the chill out of late winter and early spring evenings, when the weather is uncertain and the tulips are still frozen underfoot.

Available: May – August. Summer Ale is tangy and crisp, brewed with wheat malt, lemon zest, Hallertau Tradition and Saaz hops, the Boston brewery's own ale yeast, and an historic, nearly forgotten brewing spice called Grains of Paradise. Grains of Paradise gives Summer Ale a peppery citrus note, which enhances the tanginess of the lemon peel. This nearly forgotten brewing ingredient -- used by brewers in the 13th and 14th centuries -- brings a subtle, elegant aroma to the wheat ale base. The ale yeast fermentation produces background notes of tropical fruit: you'll detect hints of mangos and peaches. This is a well-balanced, quenching beer -- perfect for summertime. Summer Ale is delicious with all summer foods: salads, sandwiches, grilled vegetables, and spicy foods. Serve it a little cooler -- about 45 degrees.

Available: August – October. This year's Samuel Adams OctoberFest is rich with malt. A blend of four special malts -- Munich, Harrington, Moravian and Crystal -- give this smooth lager a silky mouthfeel, strong caramel notes and a nutty tone. Noble hops Tettnang Tettnanger and Hallertau Hallertauer balance this beer beautifully, but OctoberFest is a true malt showcase.

Jim Koch optó por utilizar como base su interpretación de una Bock de trigo oscura pero con un moderado contenido alcohólico, ya que alcanza 5,6% de alcohol. Un avez lograda la receta inicial le añadió especias como el jenjibre, la canela y la piel de naranja. De todas ellas,tanto en nariz como en boca predominan los perfiles cítricos de la naranja, compensados con una gran carga de malta en un cuerpo muy fino.

Samuel Adams Boston Ale was the second beer on the Samuel Adams roster, a robust and spicy ale brewed in 1988 to celebrate the opening of the Samuel Adams Brewery in Boston. The recipe for Boston Ale is from the Koch family archives. Jim's grandfather kept careful brewer's notes which were stored in the family's Cincinnati attic.
Tasting Notes
Take a sip. Taste the combination of spicy bitterness and an earthy, herbal character from the hops. The malty and sweet finish is reminiscent of a lager. Hold Boston Ale up to the light and appreciate its deep red amber color. This beautiful glow comes from two-row Harrington and crystal malts, which are added in generous quantities to brew Samuel Adams Boston Ale to a higher original gravity than most ales. Traditional ale hops, Saaz, Kent, Fuggles, and Goldings, impart a complex bitterness and an earthy, herbal aroma

Wheat beer is a distinctly summery and refreshing style, particularly welcome when a thirst quenching drink is called for. Cherry Wheat perfectly balances the delicacy and citrus tang of a wheat ale with the taste and aroma of fresh cherries. Wheat beers combine beautifully with fruit, and Cherry Wheat is no exception. Savor Cherry Wheat's spicy, herbal note. This delightful beer has a dry, crisp finish due to the wheat malt used in the brew; fresh cherries from Michigan give it a lovely aroma. You'll detect a slight sweetness from the clover honey which is used sparingly to balance the tartness of the fruit.

The history of India Pale Ale, or IPA, begins in the 18th century when there were many British troops stationed in India. It took anywhere from three to six months for beer to arrive from England, and typical ales became flat and sour by the time they reached their destination. The classic India Pale Ale style has a fresh hop aroma and a distinct hoppy bitterness. Sam Adams IPA is brewed with hand-selected Fuggles and East Kent Goldings hops for a refreshingly crisp, distinctive finish, and is aged in American oak for a smooth, hearty taste. Sam Adams IPA is delicious with grilled seafood and mild cheeses.

Esta famosa ale debe haber sufrido modificaciones en su receta desde que comenzó a elaborarse allá por 1995. En una supuesta trascripción del comentario de una etiqueta y atribuido al propio Koch, donde se lee que se elabora con una pequeña proporción de peat malt (malta ahumada con turba) y cebada tostada. En el sitio web oficial de Samuel Adams, en cambio se declara usar, malta pálida de dos hileras, Munich 10 ºL, peat malt, caramelo 60 ºL y malta chocolate. Actualmente tiene una densidad específica original de 1,062 (15,2 ºP) y la densidad final 1,021 aproximadamente. Los lúpulos son ingleses, Kent Goldings y Fuggles. Fue retirada del mercado brevemente durante el año 2000, pero ante el reclamo de los clientes volvió a producirse. Es de color ámbar a marrón, suave y sedosa al paladar, tiene notas ahumadas y marcado sabor a malta y caramelo, ligeramente dulce. Es fermentada a bajas temperaturas y madurada pacientemente para que se redondeen sus sabores, siendo el proceso total de unas cinco semanas. Según James Koch, está hecha artesanalmente con todo el respeto por las tradiciones de elaboración de siglos pasados. Debido a su densidad inicial y contenido alcohólico, no llega a cumplir con los parámetros mínimos para que pueda considerarse una Scotch Ale.

Samuel Adams Honey Porter is round and full-bodied with a mild roasted flavor and hints of fruit. Two-row Munich, chocolate and caramel malts give this porter a rich, smooth flavor with unusual depth. This complex ale has a beautiful ruby black color and a touch of sweetness from the addition of pure clover honey. It is generously hopped with Kent, Fuggles, and Goldings hops, which adds a spicy bitterness to the brew. Samuel Adams Honey Porter is best paired with traditional meat dishes like roast beef, veal, and lamb. Try it as an accompaniment for oysters as well! Savor the chocolate flavors in conjunction with creamy desserts.
La cerveza Samuel Adams Utopias es probablemente la cerveza más cara del mundo. Destinada a un público selecto, se fabricaron tan sólo 8.000 botellas en 2003. La cerveza se distribuye en un empaquetado único. El diseño de la botella está inspirado en las viejas calderas de cobre donde los maestros cerveceros elaboraban la cerveza hace cientos de años.
Para su elaboración se han utilizado los ingredientes más selectos del mundo, incluyendo cuatro tipos de lúpulos que dan a la cerveza un gusto a tierra y hierbas y que también aportan cierta nota picante. Los maltas Carmel, vienesa, moravio y bávaro aportan el color ambar brillante. En la fermentación se utilizó una levadura que se usa para el Champagne. Finalmente se envejeció en barriles escoces. El resultado de todo el proceso es una cerveza única, con un sabor levemente afrutado y con una profundidad que recuerda al sabor de un buen coñac.
La cerveza Sam Adams Utopias es una cerveza sin carbonatar que tiene un contenido de alcohol de un 25% del volumen y que debe saborearse lentamente. Ideal para tomar a temperatura ambiente, después de cenar y servida en copa de vino o de brandy.
El precio de una de estas botellas de Samuel Adams Utopias está en aproximadamente 147 euros.
Millennium is an example of the brewers' art at its most remarkable: a rich though very drinkable amber essence with mouth-filling flavors of malt and oak, overtones of vanilla, butterscotch and pear, with a hint of cinnamon. Rare Noble hops give Samuel Adams Millennium a crisp, balanced finish. Millenium Ale contains 19.5%-20% alcohol by volume. Served at cellar temperature (about 60 degrees) in two-ounce servings, Millennium makes a wonderful aperitif or after-dinner drink.
Triple Bock is complex, elegant, and has the depth and complexity of a fine cognac, vintage port or an old sherry. Non-carbonated, ruby-black, and very special, Triple Bock should be sipped from a small snifter in a two-ounce serving. This is a beer to savor, and sip slowly. Triple Bock has a brandy-like warmth and a complex melange of fruity, woody, and toffee-like flavors. Let the aroma fill your mouth and nose with rich malt and fruit overtones. Savor and appreciate its enormous character. Serve Triple Bock as you would a fine sherry, at room temperature, in a small snifter. One bottle generously serves two or three. Recork and store standing up. Once poured into a small glass, the layers of aroma and flavor will continue to evolve as the deep ruby brew warms in the hand. Cheers!
