The Samuel Adams Boston 26.2 Brew is a Gose style ale brewed in partnership with the Boston Athletic Association for the first time for the 2012 Boston Marathon, and was exclusively available in select pubs and restaurants along the marathon route in Boston. Gose is an ancient German style, brewed with over 50% wheat, and flavored with coriander and salt. The result is a light bodied, very refreshing beer, perfect for rehydrating after a marathon! It's like Gatorade for adults!

12 oz. can. Drank straight from the can. Tastes like a generic lager with high carbonation. Decent taste for a light beer. Very crisp, like a soda. As designed, good after exercise, but certainly nothing special.

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle poured into a glass. Slightly hazy golden with small white head. Aroma is light grain, light body (like a light pale lager), low carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is light grain and a little coriander. Pretty light for a gose.

This should have never been brewed.

Draft at The Dover Brickhouse, Dover, NH. Completely clear amber, golden color, thin head. Aroma is light grain, salt.
Wheat backbone with a weak grass and coriander in the back end that helps this dry out the texture, Body is very light, crisp after taste with a spirited carbonation level. Overall, I can see why this would be great after running a marathon. But I had to share my pint with a friend because it is pretty weak and kind of bland.

On tap at the Sam Adams tour: Poured a hazy light orangey color ale with a nice foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of coriander is well integrated with the malt base. Taste is refreshing with good notes of coriander and malt with light salty finish. Body is quite full with good carbonation. Well brewed and something I wouldn’t mind to have regular access during sumnmertime.
