Samuel Adams East Coast IPA bridges the classic American IPA tradition with the juicy, tropical character of modern hop varieties. Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe deliver citrus peel, mango and pine in a clean, balanced frame with a firm but approachable bitter finish. At 6% ABV and 45 IBU, it's the East Coast take on the American IPA — bold without being aggressive, and true to the Boston brewing tradition.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.
