Bottle thanks to a friend. Darker pour than the average lager. Smell was of yeast & cultured bread. Flavour was on the bitter side showing a presence of hops in the brew, barley, and a lasting aftertaste which appears to be a mix between an IPA and a lager. This is.... just bad.

Aug 18, 2008 Everything good and noble about American beer can be applied to Boston Lager. This darkish lager plays Grey Goose to Budweiser’s Popov.

Aug 17, 2008 On tap at the Edgewater Grill at the Marriot thanks to a good man. Fairly uneventful aroma, a larger sweet malt presence than others of this style, but not unappealing at all. Dark ruby red in color, small but workable head, minor lacing, fairly appealing overall. Tastes is pretty darn good for the style, crisp, yet smoother than most lagers, caramel fruit malts make this one slightly more special than average, fairly standard US lager hop bitter along with it. Probably the gold standard for mass produced American lagers in my mind... enjoyable.

Aug 16, 2008 Pours a beautiful clean amber. Clean hops aroma, grassy. A slight bitterness to the taste. Good beer.

does not count  Aug 14, 2008 Straw colored. Pours a nice head (in fact this started creeping out of the bottle). Sweet malt aroma. Nice malt flavor with a bit of hop backbone. Light mouth feel.
