Reviews

TheBraveLittleToaster:

• Taste: This beer has a mild first impression, that slowly turns into a pleasant full flavored lager. The taste is not overbearing, nor overpowering; its balance is just right. What I love must of about this beer is the fact it has a strong enough taste to distinguish itself from the rest of the Lagers but it does not overwhelm you. The perfect brew to go with a medium to full flavored cigar. Cigar One on One with TBLT: Brews/drinks and Cigars must be paired alike, Full flavored cigars or cigars with a strong taste should go with stronger tasting beers or drinks, such as this great brew. Mild cigars or lighter tasting cigars should go with lighter beers or drinks. Keeping this in mind will prevent your cigar from overpowering your beer or vice versa, and ensure you a pleasant experience.
• Color: Golden murky yellow

• Bottle Appearance: This beer has a very patriotic and mature look to it. The colors blue and silver go very well together on this bottle. Nothing from the bottle appearance jumps out and smacks you in the face, it just looks plain but not in a bad way necessary. You can say the bottle appearance under promises and once you take your first sip it over delivers.
• Density: Light to medium.
• Opinion: It's no surprise why this is Samuel Adams most popular brew; it has a full rich flavor you have to try for yourself. Granted, we did have this beer in our own set of Samuel Adams glasses but I think that had little to do with my love affair for this beer. The only negative thing I noticed about this Lager is the full feeling it leaves behind followed by a few burps.
• Recommended for: Christopher Columbus, the Boston Celtics, and the Red Sox; as well as anyone who is looking for a drink companion to their next medium to full cigar, or a very flavorful beer.

Final Score: 8.1

TheSickness:

• Taste: Soft, cooling taste. It has a slight hint of hops.
• Color: Light yellow.
• Density: Very very light.
• Bottle: Complex, sophisticated color scheme. Mr. Adams couldn't of done a better job himself.
• Opinion: Wow. I never expect much from big-name commercial breweries but this brew is something else. The taste and drink is so smooth it can only be compared to as being "soft". Maybe Sam Adams was a pianist or a painter, because this beer was delicately crafted. For a lager, it was very tasty. However, it will probably take 80 of these to make that chunky chick look decent.
• Recommended for: The refined, artsy, and classy; for people who want to enjoy a smooth beer, but not for much else (such as beer games.)

Final Score: 8.0

THE VERDICT:

This one is a winner, folks. We both gave it solid ratings. As TBLT, our cigar aficionado mentioned, it would go great with a medium to full cigar. Not much of a cigar person? This beer would also go good with a double homicide. This beer is to kill for.
