An interesting IPA. Fruity hoppyness. Must be the Tasmanian hops used. Sticky palate, and a cloudy dark amber hue. Batch 2.

pretty much taste like you combined an October fest Maibach with an IPA. a sweet carmal malt with slightly bitter hops

Une bouteille partagée par Ben. Merci! Une robe presque rougeâtre qui m’apparaît complètement embrouillée. Un bon col mousseux beige. Un nez de malts grillés. Une sensation épicée et terreuse. Est-ce qu’il y a du seigle dans cette bière? Des parfums de caramel foncé et même de chocolat. Des houblons qui finissent par se faire entendre. Des oranges, des pamplemousses et un côté floral. Intéressant. Au goût, je perçois toujours ces céréales nourrissantes qui réussissent le pari de ne pas être sucrées. Les houblons sont toujours là. Beaucoup de fruits me passent par la tête. Le côté floral est toujours mis en évidence. En bouche, le liquide montre un corps de belle densité. Ses bulles rendent la texture mousseuse. La finale se fait sur une amertume parfumée par le pin et traversée par des touches maltées foncées et sèches. Tout compte fait, pas vraiment mon style mais appréciable.

Long Island, NY - 12 oz. bottle poured a nice cherry red with slightly off white head, decent lacing. Aroma was hop heavy. Taste was hoppy with a pleasant bitterness. There is something special about this brew, possibly the malts used. Another surprisingly good beer from Sam Adams ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Le liquide est cuivré foncé avec un léger col et une dentelle qui s’accroche.Au nez ,les grains foncée frais,les malts et le caramel anglais(toffee) Au goût, c’est crémeux, on apprécie bien les grains frais,l’amertume des houblons de tasmanie qui sont franc et une final de caramel( toffee) Anglais.Une belle combinaison des éléments qui font de cette bière un délice.

Pours a dark brown-red with a creamy root beer head. Excellent head retention. Just a nice looking beer in my standard pint glass. Delightful grapefruit and butterscotch (not diacetyl) nose. Grapefruit and caramel malt flavors. A surprisingly interesting and complex beer. This is one of the two above average beers from Boston Brewing I’ve had.

28 Mar 2013, bottle. Red, clear, steady bubbles. nose is slightly sweet bready malt and some grassy hops. med/thin body and moderately fizzy. red ale malt, toast crust, perhaps some rye notes, resin. okay.

Samuel Adams Tasman Red has a thick, soapy, cream-colored head and a hazy, reddish-brown appearance. with some fairly thick lacing rings left behind. The aroma is of brown bread crust and subdued sweetness. The flavor is the same, with straightforward bitterness present underneath. The mouthfeel is medium to heavy and a bit dirty (in an ale sense), and Samuel Adams Tasman Red IPA finishes dry, bitter, sweet, and pretty well drinkable. Overall, this is a really nice one, and is most certainly worth checking out. RJT

not a very hoppy aroma, but an awesome color. taste was great, grapefruit, pine, and finishes pretty good. good malt blend in there too. good beer, definitely one of the best in the sampler pack

12oz bottle poured into a cold Samuel Adams pint glass. As you can see by the scores, this is really just an average beer. It looks nice, but the smell and mouth feel are all "meh". As is always most important, the taste. Tasman Red isn’t REALLY bitter, but it remains a tad bit too bitter for my taste. This isn’t a terrible beer, but it is really pretty forgettable in my mind... there’s just nothing about it that really STANDS OUT in my mind. I wouldn’t go out of my way to have a Tasman Red.
