Samuel Adams Boston Ale (Stock Ale)
This beer pours a cloudy sienna. There are many tiny particles in this and they make it quite hazy. The white head soon vanishes but leaves decent lacing. The aroma is of grain and medium malt. There is a very slight touch of hops in the nose that seems to be a bit floral. There is an underlying scent of... soy sauce? The beer improves once it gets in the mouth. The body is solid and substantial. The carbonation is lively, yet soft. It's well bittered. This doesn't really stand out, overall. I wonder if I got a bad bottle, what with all the particles in it. I'll have to rereview it. (rated Feb 9, 2007)
