Samuel Adams Boston Lager
I had the Boston Lager out of a 22 oz brown bottle and served it in a pint glass. Very attractive and fluffy 1.5 inch head. Freshness date was notched for November 2004. Appearance is a dark orange amber. Rocky and sticky head with really nice lacings that stay. This brew smells sweet and has an attractive overall scent. Nice aroma. Taste is clearly sweet, malty and balanced. Sweet up front and slighty bitter on the finish. This beer is a staple on many accounts. It works well with many food pairings and can be a session beer for the night as well. Its availibility is plentiful around the Boston area. Many times this beer will compete with all of the major macros in bars and when thats the case, this is usually a solid choice. I have been drinking this beer for many years and I think that its not at the same level it was about 7 years ago, its still a good beer.
