On tap to pint glass.

A: Clear Amber color, good carbonation, wispy head, with mixed size bubbles.

S: Some maltiness, and a little hops. It's not too pronounced, but I'd say they were a little piney. I needed to reallly concentrate to figure that. It was a little cold though.

T: This was actually better than I thought. I hadn't had SA Boston Lager in a while, but this was not dull at all. Nice malitness and hop balance, but maybe a little hop forward (for a lager).

M: Light to medium body, with some carbonation. Some dryness.

D: Went down pretty well as a session drink. I'm not a big fan of all/most SA beers but their flagship beer is not bad and is a really safe choice.

Serving type: on-tap

It comes in a light golden amber color.

The flavor has a big malty and toasted flavor. There's a good bitterness on the finish. It has a decent mouthfeel. I prefer Brooklyn Lager with its more refreshing and hop flavor. Despite the bitterness, it still has that big maltiness.

It's quite a decent beer compared to the American Adjunct Lagers, but still a bit lacking for me.

Serving type: bottle
