With 4.7% alcohol-by-volume (ABV), the beverage contains US Cascade, Citra, mosaic and Simcoe hop that bring aromas of tropical citrus.

Samuel Adams’ founder and brewer Jim Koch said: “We’ve brewed a revolutionary beer that brings together the best attributes of lager and ale with a taste and aroma that will completely surprise any craft beer drinker.

“We wanted to offer drinkers a craft beer they can enjoy during any drinking occasion, from a tailgate to an afternoon with friends, and that’s exactly what Sam ’76 delivers. It took many iterations to get right, but with one sip you’ll understand why this beer is so unique.”

Sam ’76 is currently available across the US market in a six-pack can for a suggested retail price (SRP) of between $8.99 and $9.99. It will also be available in a 12-pack can format for an SRP of between $15.99 and $17.99.
