Woah. it has been awhile. Hi again everybody, and welcome to the first installment of Younge's Beer Review, 2013. I trust everyone's new years went well, and they've settled into a nice routine of likely forgetting their resolutions. Resolutions like writing more blog entries! Anyways, here's this year's beer of the week.
Due to technical difficulties, I'm not including a picture this week, but my selection is none other than the Original Sam Adams Boston Lager. I thought it fitting to start this year's review with a Brew that I really should have done when I was blazing through the holiday specials at the end of 2012, but here we are.
Sam starts off wit ha nice copper nose, and pours into a thick foam and a honey gold body. The tastes are really quite subtle: lightly bitter with a hint of syrup are the primaries. As the head settles into a thin disc, the drinker may notice the nose permeating about the room a bit. Rather strongly for Lager, it is a very cool effect. While not particularly strong on its own, the Boston Lager can be quite a lot to put down if paired with food, especially meat and beans. Overall it merits a high mark for drinkability, subtlety, and a certain hard to describe something that most drinkers should notice once they finish. That's it for now, catch the review next week!
