I read in the paper today that Samuel Adams just introduced two new beers called Dunkelweizen (Drunkelweizen?) and Irish Red Ale. 

Todd over at beeradvocate.com  gave these two beers the following review:

Dunkelweizen
Spot on for the style. Light bodied, green banana, a hint of smoke, touch of caramel, soft powdery clove, moderate alcohol, and a tremendous drinkability (under 5% abv, I believe). I wanted to stay and drink this beer all day long.

Irish Red Ale
Gorgeous to look at, toasty, some mineral, and a bit hoppy for the style, but the brewers are going to tone it down just a bit, which should allow for the malt to shine through a bit more. Personally, I really enjoyed the hoppier edge, but with the tweaks it’ll be a great example of the style and great session beer with its below 5% abv.

These two beers are not available to the public, but have received very good reviews from professional beer drinkers in the industry.  There are, however, two tastings in New York City where you can try these beers and vote on your favorite.  The two bars offering these tastings are below:
