Kraft Öl - New beer from Samuel Adams in US

Samuel Adams - Hazel Brown

Samuel Adams says:
In honor of the fall hazelnut harvest, we brewed this flavorful nut brown ale. Its distinct hazelnut aroma and taste are accentuated by slightly sweet caramel and toffee malt notes. Medium in body, it finishes smooth with an underlying spiciness from the hops making it a great choice for fall.

For this beer, we wanted to brew something that would be appealing and satisfying during the fall when the days become crisp and cooler. Brown ale, while a good beer any time of year, seemed like a great fit for this. We used malts that would contribute a rich, dark brown color, roasted notes, and a slightly sweet flavor profile, including caramel and toffee notes.

 

While the brown ale was tasty by itself, but we wanted to do more with it so decided to add a nut character. Hazelnut was the nut of choice due to its distinct, pleasant flavor and aroma. After adjusting the base beer slightly, we were able to create the best balance of malt and hazelnut characters.

 

Best Regards
