beer_name: Samuel Adams Boston Lager
text: An old favorite from the beginning of the craft beer movement. A: Clear amber color with very active carbonation. Foamy off-white head is small but has above average rentention. Leaves nice amounts of lace. S: Sweet, with aromas of toffee, caramel, lemon and grass. T: Not as sweet as the nose would indicate. Malt has toffee and toasted qualities. Nicely balanced bitterness is spicy with flavors of pepper and cloves, plus a hint of lemon. Semi-dry finish with a mild lingering bitterness. M: Medium light body feels quite over carbonated. D: Very. Nice session beer that pairs well with food.
