A Note on This Beer
Forget the little paper umbrella, today's beer should come with an actual palm tree to relax under while you sip!
‘Cause when Massachusetts' Stellwagen dreamed up their new Samba School Hazy IPA, they channeled the majestic flavors of Brazilian Carnival with brand new Samba Hops!
To prepare for new, hazy hop innovation, they sharpened their brewing teeth by taking home a shiny medal for NE-Style Hazy at the Great International Beer Competition — a prestigious festival win alongside Revision and Brooklyn Brewery.
Then, they tracked down this new Samba hop variety that gushes with notes of mango, pineapple, and coconut.
When used for dry-hopping these Samba Hops dance across the palate with all the zesty citrus and tropical juiciness you'd expect from near the equator.
In the past, beer geeks traveled to Massachusetts in search of some of the juiciest IPAs on the planet. But never before were their taste buds swept away to a carefree Carnival celebration like this!
