A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON THE CLASSIC WITBIER STYLE. Samuel Adams Imperial White is a new perspective on the classic witbier style. Witbiers are normally light and refreshing with a fruity finish and we wanted to see how these characteristics would stand up when we amped up the recipe. The result? We were totally blown away by the flavors that were created by this beer.

This is not just a more intense version of our spring seasonal Samuel Adams White Ale. Imperial White is a new recipe that stands on it own merits. At 10.3% alcohol by volume, it really is more of a wine substitute than just another refreshing witbier. This is a beer that should be sipped and savored and you’ll be amazed at the flavors you’ll discover as the beer warms and opens up.

Best With: 
The unique floral and fruit-like aromas in the Imperial White pair well with creamier soft rind cheeses - Camembert, Brie or Robiola. These cheeses have the variety of intense flavors that will match the unique taste of the Imperial White. Imperial White is really a versatile beer when it comes to pairing with food. Its wheat and cereal-like flavors can easily complement a savory roasted chicken with lemon and pepper. Or the spices in the beer can match the intensity of a curry dish or thai cuisine.
