Yet another batch of new ones…a busy Saturday morning!
Samuel Adams Tasman Red: The back of the label says, “Batch no. 1.” Interesting… Label copy reads, “This wily red IPA gets its character from the Tasmanian hops that are full of grapefruit, pine and earthy notes creating a bold flavor that threads throughout the taste. The hops are balanced by a core of roasty malts that give this brew body and richness with hints of toffee. This flavorful brew is rounded and smooth with a dry and citrusy hop finish.
At Samuel Adams, we love love experimenting. This series of limited edition brews represents some of our favorite small batch creations.”

My first thought looking at the Tasman label is how similar it looks to Founder’s Red’s Rye. Even better, it sounds like they went with a hop profile to mirror the amarillo hop taste. Maybe it’s a copy. Maybe it’s coincidence.
…. I was thinking the exact same thing Joe.
Sue them, Founders!!!
