Samuel Adams


Samuel Adams is an American brand of beer brewed by the Boston Beer Company.  The company was founded in 1984 by Jim Kosh, Hary M. Rubin, and Lorenzo Lamadrid in Boston, Mass.  The name Samuel Adams was chosen after an American patriot, by the same name, famous for his role in the American Revolution and the Boston Tea Party.  Based on sales in 2011, the Boston Beer Company is tied with Yuengling for the largest American-owned brewery.

This beer pours a nice amberly color, with a good head. The smell is just a nice lager smell, but the taste, while clean, nice, and lagery, has a certain nuttiness, or breadiness that I really enjoy.  This is an easy to drink, really good beer.

You can definitely small the malts in this beer. Very pleasant and there is a hint of hops aroma as well.
The taste is light sweetness and light bitterness. Toasted malt and mild citrus is also present. Well-balanced, not as carbonated as I was expecting, this beer managed to slightly exceeded my expectations.

As a craft beer legend Samuel Adams Boston Lager, keeps it strong, smooth and simple. Best enjoyed from the bottle, this is how a simple beer should be.

As always thinks for reading, feel free to leave comments.  Until next time, drink one for me.
