Spring Sam Adams: Cold Snap

Is Samuel Adams Cold Snap a rebrand of the White Ale? It looks that way. The spring seasonal white ale uses a host of different spices like coriander and orange peel to create a complex, smooth flavor.

Crisp & lively, the hazy smoothness of this unfiltered White Ale is roused by the cracking of spring spices. From a hint of sweetness from orange peel & plum to the peppery bite of fresh ground coriander, the subtle blend of spices creates just the right refreshing kick to signal that spring is on its way. Cheers!

Style: White Ale (w/ Orange Peel, Coriander, Plum)
Availability: 12oz bottles, Draft.
Arrival: Spring, 2014

Evil Twin Releases NomadER Wit

nomader_wit_label_ver2

On shelves now is Evil Twin’s NomadER Wit. A place on their “gypsy ” brewer status. 

Some people we know – they write about beers and they have called those of us at Evil Twin Brewing “nomads”. Other people we know – they built a hotel and a restaurant, and their neighborhood didn’t really have a name, so they called that “NoMad”. And how interesting that both nomads in NoMad enjoy a Brett-feremnted wit beer with notes of coriander and orange peel. So, no matter what – hit the road or hunker down… this beer was made nice, just for you. 

Style: Witbier (w/ Orange Peel, Coriander)
Availability: 22oz bombers
Arrival: August, 2013
