This beer came out of a Sam Adams summer session case, most of them were good, this one I was not to fond of. The Boston Beer Company is a solid brewery, but a hard one to classify. Some say its still a craft brewery, others say it is a big name brewery. I still like to think that it is a good old American craft brewery with a solid rotation.
