Oct 30, 2009 Poured from bottle into Summit Pint Glass.
Shifts from amber to gold, depending on the lighting. Only a small head but nice lacing.
Aroma of fruity and toasted malts with slight hop undertones.
This is a full flavored, perfectly balanced lager. Toasted malts in the beginning which are quickly countered by noble hops. Ends somewhat bitter.
Medium to high carbonation, with a medium body and semi-dry finish.
Very, very sessionable. No wonder it became so popular.
This was one of the first beers I enjoyed along with Bass (still like it but not as much) and Pete’s Wicked Ale (which has been ruined). However, I still enjoy this beer a lot, and actually don’t get upset that it is ALWAYS included in every Sam Adams sampler. This is usually my fall back beer in non-beer-centric restaurants and in airports. And you know what, I am always happy to have it.

Oct 30, 2009 crisp solid beer. Sal Adams is one the best "popular beers" that is usually on draft wherever you go. Taste is slightly caramel, hops and slightly roasted. Alittle bit bitter. Always a good choice

Oct 28, 2009 Pours light amber with thin head. Mostly hoppy aroma with a little skunk. Nice refined hop flavor and decent malt backbone. Refreshing and easy to drink.

Oct 25, 2009 Nice hoppy notes and a bit of soap on the nose. Nice foamy head and amber dark give it high marks for appearance. Flavor is nice, smooth, refreshing. Overal impression is hurt by the soapy aroma.

Oct 24, 2009 Bottle poured into a pint glass. Poured a nice bright copper color with an off-white to tan head. Head stuck around the entire time. Aroma is mild at best, but pleasant. Aroma is mainly hops and smells like many other Sam Adams beers. Beer is very handsome in a pint glass...looks great! The flavor is very nice. Excellent blend of malts and hops. Hop finish with a pleasant aftertaste. Feels medium bodied in the mouth. Decent carbonation. Overall, a good beer.
Miksu (2187), Jyväskylä, Finland
Oct 24, 2009 0.33 l bottle from Alko. Amber color. Caramelly and toffeish aroma with hints of nuts and raisins. Caramelly, toffeish and slightly minerally flavor with medium bitterness and restrained fruity hoppiness. Simple easy drinking beer. I could probably drink two pints of this but get bored after that.
