Samuel Adams Boston Ale

Samuel Adams Boston Ale

A very nice American Pale Ale. Amber color with a malty, caramel and fruity smell and taste. A little bitterness in the flavor as well.

This was a very nice change up from all of the pale ales that I normally drink and summer brews that are being served right now. This was part of a brewmaster's collection. I don't think that I have ever seen this available as a 6 pack on its own (in Cincinnati).

I really have a soft spot for Sam Adams and the way the do business. Most people don't know that they are a craft brewer. Even thought they are so large and have a great number of different brews, the quality is still. It is just on such a larger scale than the regional beer company's. Let's just hope they don't follow the trend of the other American brewing companies and sell out to the highest bidder
