COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Samuel Adams Boston Lager® is the best example of the fundamental characteristics of a great beer, offering a full, rich flavor that is both balanced and complex. It is brewed using a decoction mash, a time consuming, traditional four vessel brewing process discarded by many contemporary brewers. This process brings forth a rich sweetness from the malt that makes it well worth the effort. Samuel Adams Boston Lager® also uses only the finest of ingredients including two row barley, as well as German Noble aroma hops. The exclusive use of two row barley not only imparts a full, smooth body but also gives the beer a wide spectrum of malt flavor ranging from slightly sweet to caramel to slightly roasted. The Noble hops varieties, Hallertau Mittelfruh and Tettnang Tettnanger, add a wide range of floral, piney and citrus notes, which are present from the aroma, through the flavor, to the lingering smooth finish. We take great pride in the Noble hops used in our beers. They are hand selected by Jim Koch and our other brewers from the world’s oldest hops growing area. Among the world’s most expensive, they cost twenty times as much as other hops.

Cakes (695) - New Bloomfield, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 8, 2021
UPDATED: NOV 8, 2021 Twelve ounce bottle. Can't believe that I have never rated this before now. Flavor of grass, grain and caramel Medium bitterness, that just pulls up before that gets too heavy. Pours a golden-copper color with a thin lacing and a small head that sticks. I will take this lager over Yuengling Lager any time, and I am from Pennsylvania.

midovark (4274) - Budapest, HUNGARY - SEP 16, 2021
UPDATED: SEP 16, 2021 Bottle at Malta, brewed by Shepherd Neame in the UK. This is actually not as terrible as I thought it’s gonna be, there’s some caramel and burnt sugar on top of bready malts and just enough bitterness to keep the sweetness in bay. The body is also decent. Nothing to write home about obviously, but I was prepared for worse.

After.dawn (61) - Suwon, SOUTH KOREA - JUL 10, 2021
UPDATED: AUG 4, 2021 잔에 따른 외관은 비엔나라거 혹은 엠버라거처럼 탁하고 짙다. 색으론 에일스러운 비주얼을 보여주듯 거품의 밀도나 유지시간은 거칠고 짧지않고 오히려 넉넉하고 지속성이 있는 편. ​입으로 들어오기전 느껴지는 향은 로스팅맥아의 카라멜 향이었는데 그러면서 구운 빵이나 훈제향이 나는가 싶더니, 혀에서 느껴지는 풍미는 잘 구워지고 있는 바베큐에 허브를 올린듯 미세한 쌉싸름함과 산뜻함도 느겨짐. 한입 크게 머금어보면 에일처럼 점도가 있고 중후한 느낌이 있는데 삼킬땐 카라멜의 단맛이 다시 느껴지다 쓴맛으로 마무리. ​이 과정이 과하지않고 담백하며 분명 전체적인 감각은 라거인데 곳곳에 에일의 성질이 있어 필스너라고 하기도 뭣하고 에일인가 하기도 뭣한것이 보스턴라거라고 작명했지만 이게 안톤 드레허의 잃어버린 비엔나라거가 아니겠는가! 무거운 바디에 풍부한 아로마가 있는 비엔나 스타일이 한국에선 흔하지도 않거니와 좋은 밸런스대비 가격도 좋은 편이라 주변에서 보인다면 마셔봐도 좋을 맥주. ​안주없이 마시다 짠 볶음밥과 페어링했는데 그 다음 한입이 그렇게나 달달할 수 없었다고.. 어떻게 설명을 못하겠는데 맛있게 배합된 홍삼액이랄까

edj (3) - Pasadena, USA - JUN 29, 2021 does not count
UPDATED: JUN 29, 2021 Keep drinking turns to a 3 Ipa, stout and regular beer mixed together Kinda hard to ignore bitter buildup.

2OLD4BS (931) - west windsor, New Jersey, USA - MAY 12, 2021
UPDATED: MAY 12, 2021 For a main stream American beer this is good. Flavors are well blended and have a nice body. Bitter finish. Decent beer.

3.1
jybi (1866) - Nouméa, NEW CALEDONIA - MAY 5, 2021
UPDATED: MAY 5, 2021 Un peu plus de houblon que sur une Lager quelconque et un minimum de caractère pour 4,8 %. N'en n'espérez pas davantage pour une bière qui n'affolera pas vos papilles. Le cocktail aromatique basé sur le caramel avec des notes de tabac et de muscat n'est pas désagréable, mais plat et sans variation. Tout cela ne vous fait pas tellement voyager. Le visuel est sur un ambré clair limpide sans fioriture. Au nez, nous découvrons cette dominante caramel teinté de tabac et muscat. Pas désagréable mais pas enthousiasmant non plus. L'attaque n'est pas très intense avec du caramel, une pointe de poivre et d'ananas. L'ensemble manque nettement de tonicité. La deuxième bouche a un peu plus de corpulence avec un alcool à 4,8 % cependant trop molasson. On y retrouve les arômes découverts au nez. L'arrière bouche est quant à elle linéaire et le final, court, retombe très rapidement. Trop peu d'expressivité.

rhoihessegold (6642) - Mainz, Rhineland-Palatinate, GERMANY - APR 18, 2021
UPDATED: APR 18, 2021 25-02-21 // 330ml bottle. First time this classic and I am surprised. Better than expected. Clear amber golden. White head. Aromas of light caramel, mild floral honey, minimal bread, hints of nutty malts and a noble hop aroma. Medium sweet. Lower bitterness.

3.4
kata.u (109) - Nagoya, JAPAN - APR 10, 2021
UPDATED: APR 17, 2021 Bottle. Pale clear golden color. Quite aromatic. Flavor of grass, grain and caramel. Well balanced bitterness and caramelized malt sweetness.

3.8
Jerseyislandbeer (3514) - JERSEY - MAR 17, 2021
UPDATED: MAR 17, 2021 Old rating from 2014 - 330ml bottle, pours caramel with a white head. Aromas & tastes of caramel, grain, citrus, spice, cereal, toffee & malt. Medium body. Well balanced. Clean moderate bitter finish
