3.55/5  rDev -3%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Appearance: Above average look. Amber-brown with not that much foam or lacing. A shade darker than Boston Lager. Kind of average in my opinion. Looks like carbonation is present, but not as much as the lager.

Smell: It's ok. Maltiness and that's about it. Maybe some honey? Hard to discern.

Taste/Mouthfeel: Creamy and veltvety smooth. Very little hoppiness but more maltiness, especially when compared to Boston Lager. It's refreshing.

Drinkability: Probably one of Sam Adam's easiest-to-drink beers.

Overall: Boston Ale might be the best gateway beer for anyone wanting to try Sam Adams. In other words, its a more neutral version of Boston Lager.

Serving type: bottle
