About the Beer

Sam Adams Light is not just a lighter version of our Samuel Adams Boston Lager but rather the culmination of over two years of tireless research and brewing trials to create a flavorful Light beer. And it has proved to be worth the wait. Brewed using only the finest two row malt and German Noble hops it has a smooth, complex roasted malt character that is superbly balanced with the subtle orange fruit notes of the Noble hops. Sam Adams Light finishes crisp and smooth without any lingering bitterness, leaving you yearning for more.

History of the Beer

First released in 2001, Sam Adams Light set out to revolutionize the way beer drinkers think about light beer in the same way that Samuel Adams Boston Lager had revolutionized the way they thought about American beers 17 years earlier. The impact was immediate. Sam Adams Light soon began winning medals at competitions around the world and became one of our most popular styles.

About the Brewing

Sam Adams Light is brewed using only two row malted barley and the German Noble Hop Spalt-Spalter. Not cutting corners during the brewing process is key to the palate appeal of Sam Adams Light. A decoction mash as well as a secondary fermentation add time but also flavor.
