A smooth, refined version of a classic ale. Samuel Adams® Boston Ale was first brewed to celebrate the opening of our Boston Brewery. Like Samuel Adams Boston Lager®, it was an old family recipe that was rescued by Jim Koch from his father's attic. Samuel Adams® Boston Ale, a Stock Ale, has a complex, caramel malt character balanced with distinct spicy and herbal hop notes. Our proprietary ale yeast imparts a variety of fruit and ester notes in both the nose and flavor which are indicative of the style.

Bottle. Easy drinking ale, with some light, sweetish malts, touch of caramel, leafy hops and moderately bitter finish. Ok.

On draft at T-Bones, Bedford, NH. Appearance is clear medium brown (like iced-tea) with nice sparkle, no head and no lacing. Aroma is biscuity malts. Taste is same as aroma. Palate is medium bodied with average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, not bad but decidedly one dimensional and nondistinguishing.

Bottle. Pours lightly cloudy amber. Aroma is mostly malty, but also clearly an amber, a bit of candy. Body is medium with a low carbonation without getting flat or boring. Palate is rather short. Works well.
