54-60

From time to time there are defining moments in the life of a man: your first bike without training wheels, your first kiss, your first car, your first car with matching paint. The list can go on and on, but on October 13 we made a memory that puts many of those to shame - our first beer in a brewery (which was free)! Here's the recap.

Sam Adams Boston Lager -
Thick headed, great color and wonderful carbonation. A sweet, hoppy smell that is somewhat citric. The taste is a bit bitter and just thick enough. A solid 4.5 steins. WOooHOoo!

Sam Adams Oktoberfest -
This little beauty had a characteristic Marzen amber color with an aroma that was also citric (like the lager) but with a slight coffee smell. The taste was characteristic and had a sweet start. This beer started out a bit watery and ended wonderfully. another 4.5 steins. BEER!!!

Sam Adams White Ale
Hoppy, wheaty, cloudy, great head. Just like that one time in college, at Bonnaroo with that girl that could do the thing with her... Oh wait. I mean. It was great. 4.5 ! <3beer

Boston Beer Works Beantown Nut Brown Ale
Very clear for it's dark coloration. Looks like thin maple syrup. Sugary, nutty aroma (roasted walnuts) Dry, thin and syrupy (if that makes sense) and this is true to taste.
4 steins, yo.

Boston Beer Works Buckeye Oatmeal Stout
Thick head, recedes and leaves fine lacing. Tastes like oatmeal cooked with a beer instead of water. Light chocolate scent. Very dark color, slightly dry, kinda bitter in a good way. average stout. 3 steins for you!

Boston Beer Works Bunker Hill Blueberry Ale
Great presentation with floating blueberries that rise and fall in the glass. The smell is a bit like blueberry pancakes and thsi has a thin, fruit taste. the ale is very blueberry at the finish and the taste disappears quickly. Retha like blueberries in her mouth. "MMmmmmm!"4 steins and a bushel of berries for this one.

Boston Beer Works Muddy River Porter
Little head. DARK! Raisiny taste with a fruitier taste than most porters. Think raisin chocolate bar. 4.25 steins.
