Boston Brewing CompanyBoston, Massachusetts
APPEARANCE: 2.25/3
Big, espresso-colored head. Lots of bubbles. Dark brown, almost opaque.
AROMA: 2.25/4
Subtle roasted chocolate aroma, subtle sweetness. Clean, little hop aroma.
TASTE: 5.5/10
Hop/Malt Balance: 2/4: Very sweet, all malt with no hop. Roasted character with sweet overtones.
Aftertaste: 1.5/3: Very subtle hop bitterness, slight sweet-cream aftertaste, both fade quickly.
Mouth-Feel: 2/3: Weak, light-bodied, a bit watery (even so, the best aspect of this beer, for what it's worth).
OVERALL: 1.5/3: Unremarkable. Slightly better than the Boston Lager, but there are a million better beers out there. This large "craft brewer" has lost sight of its roots.
TOTAL: 12/20–I'll Try A Pint
NOTES:
Matt: Did they put black food coloring in their Boston Lager? This is a half-hearted attempt to capitalize on the popularity of craft beers.
Ben: A gateway beer for Bud Light drinkers who think they are cool by drinking a supposed craft beer. Little do they know…
