Tasting Notes and Review for Samuel Adams Boston Lager

About.com Rating 3.5

By Bryce Eddings, About.com

The Bottom Line
Boston Lager is Boston Beer Company's flagship beer. It is based on the recipe for a homebrew that Jim Koch cooked up in his kitchen over two decades ago. I'd love to do a side by side tasting between that homebrew and the today's version.
Pros
  • Full Flavored Lager
Cons
  • A bit too sweet

Guide Review - Tasting Notes and Review for Samuel Adams Boston Lager
Boston Lager pours with a short but dense, white head. The body is clear and dark golden in appearance. The nose is full of floral, spicy hops. This continues into the first taste. It has a malty sweetness that finishes with a nice hoppy whack. The bitterness lingers and leaves a refreshed feeling.
