Samuel Adams Alpine Spring




Brewed in kegs by Samuel Adams, Boston, MA. Bought and drunk at J's bar and grill in Lima, OH at dinner with Neal. Met Neal and Tom in Chicago airport and was quite surprised. I wasn't expecting to see them until tonight. So drove with them to Lima, then Tom went to exercise while Neal and I went for dinner.
The web site says: "Brewed especially for the season, this bright citrusy unfiltered lager is both satisfying and refreshing. It’s the perfect transition from winter’s heavier brews to the lighter beers of summer. Borne of our brewers’ many trips to Germany, Alpine Spring features a unique blend of lager attributes: the balanced maltiness and hoppiness of a Helles, the smoothness and slightly higher alcohol of a traditional spring bock, and the unfiltered appearance of a Kellerbier. The beer is brewed with Tettnang Noble hops to add a unique, bright orange-citrusy aroma and flavor."
