I thought this was the regular Amber with a different name, taste is similar, light malty and lacking flavor. Had this a summer ago at the Bell in Hand, walked in here cause it was hot as hell outside and this had a sign outside saying this was the oldest tavern in America, had to do it! The beer itself was nothing special.

The annual Fall Boston trip. This was easy drinking beer with some modest hop taste and caramel malts. A hint of toffee and a dry finish.

On draft at this historic tavern during our New England vacation 2011. Very rich in color with nice hop note. A decent session ale in the traditional style.

Draught at the Bell in Hand Tavern, Boston, MA.
Clear amber colour with small to average off-white head. Mild malty aroma with English style sweet hoppy notes. Some caramel sweetness, English style fruity hops and mild dry bitterness in flavour. Some bitterness in aftertaste too. Highly drinkable but boring.
