CanIHave4Beers (835), Des Moines, Iowa, USA Jun 23, 2009 Updated: Jun 24, 2009Really? I haven’t rated Boston lager yet? Huh? Pours a deep gold with a nice effervescence and a big fluffy white head. Aroma is really good, fruity and hoppy, some mild malt graininess, in a good way. Flavor has that nice fruity hoppiness, plenty of bitterness, once again a bright almost grainy maltiness. Mild roasty and caramel characteristics are playing around in the background, but from day one the hoppiness of this beer has always been what dominates the flavor, I really enjoy this one from time to time. Blom (390), Odense, Denmark Jun 19, 2009 Yellow with a huge head. Flowery nose with grass and hay. The flavour is bitter and fruity, but also with some sweet cracker-feeling. Nordcore (266), North of, Norway Jun 16, 2009 Bottle 33 cl. Apperance; Orange, a bit cloudy with a nice white head. Aroma; Nice and fruity, orange some light caramel feling. Flavor; Again nice and fruity. The aftertaste is nice and bitter. This one took me surprice dalek123 (103), Houston, Texas, USA Jun 15, 2009 Updated: Jun 18, 2009Beer of choice when microbrews are not available. Pours amber with a decent taste, very drinkable. DuffManSW (283), Riverside, California, USA Jun 14, 2009 Bottle.. Pours copper with a head the fades to nothing.. Smell is caramel and a little bit of bread..Taste is pleasantly sweet and malty..Easy to drink! coharahawk (87), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Jun 14, 2009 Picked up two 24 oz bottles of this because I got a free SA glass. Dark golden pour with a bright white, one-finger head that has good retention. It also leaves a pretty good lacing behind. Aroma is malt and biscuit with a tiny bit of aroma hops in the background. There are also some hints of grain. Flavor is similar; caramel malt and biscuit predominate with a decent hop balance. Finishes slightly bitter. It has a fairly smooth mouthfeel and medium body. Not too bad. beerbuzzmontreal (2909), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Jun 13, 2009 The pour reveals a dark golden color with a medium white head. The aroma is mostly malty, slighlly biscuity and mild caramel, there’s also mild hops. The flavor is decent, there’s a nice balance between the slightly biscuity malt and the noble hops, it feels crisp and dry, on a negative note, there’s a metallic feeling all along in the mouth and I dislike that. The body is light to medium with a creamy texture and moderate carbonation. Not bad at all, but the metallic flavor gets on my nerves after a while. Cirrhosis (610), Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Jun 11, 2009 Crystal clear light copper body and I got me a massive 2” crown with good retention and large bubble creators are forming on top, lacing is roapy and ample very nice looking lager. Decent dark hop aroma with a hint of Euro lager, grass clippings and maybe some corn. Nice hop bite in this brew way more then you’d expect from a lager. Lots of rich toasted malts that have a caramel flavor this shows up when brew starts to warm, has a bit of a bready finish. This is a great lager high quality complex and easy to drink. My marks seem to high but for the style it’s worth it.
