Ok I promise I won’t buy any more Sam Adams beers until at least March.
Samuel Adams Revolutionary Rye Ale
This is a fairly new creation from Boston Beer Company, and was distributed in their most recent mix pack. It is a pale ale that is brewed with significant amounts of rye for the base grain. The addition of this much rye changes the beer from a pale ale style to Specialty Grain. The alcohol level is at 5.5%.
This beer pours an attractive clear rustic orange with reddish highlights, and sports a frothy white head.
The aroma is grainy, with large notes going towards the rye, as well as a bit of spicy hops and caramel sweetness.
The flavor is bready and rye, with a substantial hop spice filling in right after this. It finishes a bit dry but the rye notes continue on with some bitter spice.
Hooray for me finally making it through all my Samuel Adams beers! I can’t wait for the next mix pack!!!
Cheers!
