The Boston Ale is one of Samuel Adam's benchmark beers. It's a great introduction to craft brewing if you know (or are) someone who wants a good gateway beer. It's not overpowering at all, and it's smoothness and easy drinkability make it a fantastic session beer.
The Boston Ale pours with a massive, creamy head. The head won't hang around too long, but it's a splendid first impression. The nose is hoppy and slightly bready. Light amber in color, very clean and crisp looking in the mug.
The taste leans to the hoppy side, but the hops don't dominate the beer. The malts lend a cracker-crisp backbone to this brew. There's nothing particularly complex going on here, just a consistent balance of flavor that stays even throughout the sample.
It's a very refreshing and lively beer. It finishes strong, and has good mouthfeel. Good carbonation level. Very drinkable, it would be easy to quaff a few of these in one sitting.
Would pair well with salty bar snacks, or light chicken or beef dishes. Recommended.
