Samuel Adams Hopscape

That's the one! I saw it in the spring variety pack, but I didn't splurge bc that was the only beer in it of any interest to me. I was told that Fresh as Helles should be available in stand alone 6 & 12 packs in the next month or so. Are these already on the shelves in your neck of the woods?

 

No, but if they will be sold in 6 and 12 packs like you said, then thats good news.

 

Their Rebel IPA says "west coast style" on the packaging and taste nothing like a west coast IPA. So if this is anything like that, I'll pass.

 

I am a huge Helles fan but found this one to be awful, the orange blossom completely ruins the beer IMO.

 

I've had Hopscape and I have to say that I enjoyed it. But then I have enjoyed other hoppy wheat beers. This one measures up to the SN version and I think I enjoyed it more that the Boulevard version. Some have pointed out that this is not a traditional wheat beer but I think we see a lot of nontraditional beers these days.

 

Disappointed to hear this - a standard Helles would have been great. I wish they would hold back on the flavor additives a bit.

 

I've only had a Hopscape single. I really liked it. Everything on point for my taste, very sessionable and refreshing.

 

I tried Hopscape on draft recently, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Not typically a fan of hoppy wheat beers either, but this was well done.


That being said, bring back Alpine Spring. That beer was awesome. Noble Pils in cans after that would also be cool.

 

I had one on Draft. Pretty good. Not my favorite from Sam Adams. Would rather have Noble Pils back myself.

 

I am now a big fan of this beer and may pick up a twelve pack before it disappears, was definitely the standout in the Spring mixed pack for me.

*Noble Pils is and has always been up there for me also.
