According to the Sam Adams website, "Brewing, blending and aging Utopias is a multi-step, time-intensive and complex process. This beer starts with a special blend of two-row pale malt combined with Munich and Caramel 60 malts that impart a rich, ruby color. Three varieties of German Noble hops – Spalt Splatter, Hallertau Mittelfrueh and Tettnang Tettnanger – are added to balance the sweetness of the malt."
