Samuel Adams Boston Ale

This is a nice little ale....really kind of reminds me of a lager. Spicey and sweet overtones. I would buy this again, though I don’t know how many of the Sam brews get brewed on a constant basis.

Golden amber pour into thick foamy head that dissipates into sticky lacing that melts into a pool of foam as carbonated bubbles rise from the bottom of the glass. Heavy aroma of hops as soon as the cap came off the bottle. Initial flavor of malty fruit, roasted walnuts, caramel and hints of spice fading to a bitter hoppy finish.

Nice filtered amber, some head retained. sweet aroma, discreete complexities. Quite hoppy right on the tongue, but nice exit, not too lingering. Thin body, fizz. Fairly nice. Great in the long drink. Purchased in SuperBrugsen, Halmtorvet.

Bottle. The nose doesn’t have much, perhaps some copper and malt. The flavor is crisp, a bit bitter and a little malty. Some hops present. I like the crisp, clean flavor and medium-light body, but I’d like there to be more flavors going on here.

Draft from Sam Adams Celebrates Cincinnati in concourse A of terminal 3 at CVG. Pours amber with a medium off-white head. Like the Octoberfest I tried right before it, the nose wasn’t giving me much- notes of hops, malt, and metal. The flavor was an improvement, though more of the same along with a touch of fruit and spice. Slightly bitter, light body, and dry on the finish. Okay, but I’d rather have the Boston Lager.

From a bottle poured brown with a small head. Bitter hoppy flavor with a quick finish.

Unclear amber of color with an off white head. An aroma of malt, metallic and weak hops. A flavor of malt, apples, hops, bitter and grainy.

Amber-brown in color with a thick head and plenty of lacing. Modestly bitter. Not much malt of aroma. I think I like the Sam lager better.
