New Sam Adams Glass
Sam Adams has created a pint glass, that they claim is the best way to drink Sam Adams Boston Lager. Below is the picture, with some notes from their newsletter. Glasses can be purchased at their website, but at this point there is a 2-3 week wait. No word yet on if bars will use these glasses. Founder Jim Koch said the following, "We wanted to create a glass that offers beer lovers a full sensory drinking experience by fully showcasing Samuel Adams Boston Lager's complex balance of malt and hop flavors. This glass achieves that mission."
Bead inside top rim - small ridge creates turbulence to increase CO2 and aroma release as beer enters palate
Lip of the Glass - places the beer on the front of the tongue where sweetness is tasted
Narrowness - enhances hop aroma by concentrating the head
Round Shape - greater volume to surface ratio maintains temperature longer
Narrow grip - reduces the beer's exposure to heat from the hand
Nucleation site - increases hop aroma release
