beer_name: Samuel Adams Boston Ale (Stock Ale)
text: Sam Adams Boston (American Pale) Ale is amber in color with a half inch, beige head that rapidly reduces to a collar. Unfortunately the aroma is that typical lager aroma, nothing to be proud of. The taste really doesn't offer much either, other than being very dry. No citrus or pine bitter, just plain bitter. No malt to speak of, nothing to attempt to balance the bitterness. The mouth feel is light to medium bodied with plenty of carbonation. Drinkability is only fair, despite the low ABV. Hey, I like some hops bitter, but give it some flavor or balance, too. I find Boston Ale unsatisfying.
