Boston Lager
4.9% abv
$8.99 a six pack
Appearance: slightly lighter amber color compared to the ale. A foamy white head this disappeared quickly (one finger pour). Nice lacing on the side of the glass.
Aroma: Light notes on the nose of basic malts and hops. Nothing special here.
Flavors: has an overall profile of toasted grains to me, with some caramel notes, sourdough bread and a nice sweetness coming from the malts. The hops are doing their job as well. There is a smooth bitterness that reminds me of the meat and rind of a citrus fruit. There seems to be a touch of pink peppercorn.
Mouthfeel: smooth, slightly crisp and slightly dry, balanced, fairly refreshing. The lingering notes are slightly sweet and slightly bitter. Light to moderate carbonation.
My Strength Rating: 5.5/6
To the Point: I really like this lager. An easy beer to drink that has a well-balanced profile and some tasty flavors.
