Pours with an ok heada nd an amber body. Does not really look like a light beer. Mild aroma barely worth noting. Taste is mostly watery with a little metallic tint. Some beer flavor peeps through the watered down taste, but at least it is smooth and completely non-offensive. Some hops are there as well as some malts. Not too bad.

Bottle. Pours a golden amber color with a medium frothy white head. A very malty aroma with light hops. Good lacing that dissipates quickly. The taste is a watery malt with a metallic finish, nowhere near as good as boston lager.

Bottle. Aroma is faintly barley. Like most light beers, this has a predominantly watery taste. All in all, the best of the light beers.

Bottle: hops are readily present, but in a medium intensity with malts to balance. A light beer that is unoffensive and certainly better than bud light or is competitors. However, the Boston lager is much better than this one...

Eh. Watery version of the Boston Lager. Not awful, but not good. Just stick with the regular Boston Lager.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear, fully golden with a white head. Malty nose. Light and watery body with sweetish, lightly caramelish malt and again sweet notes of brewing cereal and brewing syrup. No bitterness. So not even Sam Adams managed to produce a pleasant lite beer. 300306
