Samuel Adams Smoked Lager

The Samuel Adams line of beers are from the Boston Brewing Company of Boston, Massachusetts. This 5.0% lager is smoked with beechwood and is part of their new all lager mixed 12 pack.

The beer pours dark brown with amber tints. There is an inch of thick, foamy light tan head. The aroma is smokey, with some sweet caramel malt beneath. The taste follows the aromas note for note. The finish is a bit sweet and fairly smokey, with very light bitterness. The beer drinks easy. Smoked beers aren't really my thing, but this one is not too bad. It would be good with a meat and cheese tray.
