I've been drinking a number of Samuel Adams beers of late, so I thought I'd take a trip down memory lane by looking at my notes from a Sam Adams brew that is no longer with us.
The Boston Lightship was one of the earliest beers made by the Samuel Adams folks back in the 1980s, and I've even read in a few places that is was actually the second beer they ever brewed. Whatever the case, this was their first light beer, and they've made a healthy number of other light beers since, and all those I've tried have been better than this original, the Boston Lightship.
This beer had a strong bitterness, especially strong for a light beer, but it still had plenty of carbonation like many a light beer. It poured a medium yellow color while giving off light bready smells, but all that carbonation hurt this one for me.
Definitely not the worst light beer ever made, but Samuel Adams has offered better choices since.
