Sam Adams Revolutionary Rye

Samuel Adams Revolutionary Rye Ale is the winner of our 2010 Beer Lover's Choice campaign. This deep reddish-hued ale has a nice balance of sweet and spicy flavors. The slight roastiness and sweetness from the malt blend is complemented by pine and citrus notes from the combination of German and American hops. The defining ingredient in this ale, malted Rye, imparts additional complexity by delivering a spicy and slightly drying finish to this medium-bodied brew.

The Special B malt imparts a darker color and deep roasted character, while the Rye provides a unique aroma and flavorful, spicy finish. American and German hops round out this brew by adding the light citrus aroma and pine notes.

Flavor: Roasted malt sweetness and a spicy rye character. German and American hops add light pine and citrus notes to this medium-bodied brew.
