Louisiana Beer Reviews: Samuel Adams Boston Lager Remastered
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 09. 2024
- 5% alcohol. 30 IBU. Remastered for 2023. Certified kosher. Brewed in America by Boston Beer Company.
"A smooth, German-style lager with slightly sweet roasted malts, notes of caramel, toffee, and a distinct noble hop character with subtle piney citrus. It ends with a crisp finish that makes you want another."

Much prefer the remastered lager. I’ll buy this more often.
Yes, I know that some people DO like it. I wonder what the percentage is for like vs. dislike. Thanks for watching, Snuffy Ballpark. I appreciate it!
Hi Jay, I’m 19 days into a 30 day cleanse that includes eating only clean, healthy foods and no alcohol. Your reviews are really helping me through this and to reach my goal. When I watch your reviews I feel like I’m hanging out with a friend having a cold bottle of frosty suds, but actually I’m having a Perrier. Thanks for your reviews and your very informative style.
Hello, Biff, and I'm glad to hear that my videos are helping. It's great to hear this!
Glad you got around to reviewing "The Remastered Boston Lager" Ron. I`ve been drinking the original since the early 90`s. I love the Remastered version! I also enjoy the dry finish on this one. It`s delicious, and easy drinking for sure! Cheers, from Joe in North Carolina.
Cheers, back to you, Joe!
Seems like the ethics of brewing would be against remastering a long appreciated classic but it's been through many remasters lol
I guess there's no ethics, among brewers. Thanks for watching, Astral Dusk. I appreciate it!
I really enjoy this beer and this channel. Thanks again for a great review. Feels like sitting with a friend having a beer.
Thanks, Jackd Upp. I appreciate you watching!
I went on a brewery tour in Boston, and asked the guide about what they did to change the beer. She said all they changed is the way they get the pH balance. Something to do with a biological approach vs. using brewing salts, or something like that.
Yes, I had the impression that it was that sort of thing.
First time viewing and subscribed always looking for another good beer !!would like to see Harp and ky bourbon Barrel ale !
Thanks for watching, Bobby. I appreciate it! Yes, I have reviewed both Harp and the Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale.
I really loved the new Boston Lager when I tried it.
They did a great job with this.
Wanted to try a different beer so im gonna try this. Good video God bless!
Excellent choice. Thanks, and the same, back to you. I appreciate you watching, Rusty Shackleford Gribble!
Agree with your assessment that they "tweaked" it but it does seem just a fraction lighter and less robust than it used to be. I have had the remastered on draft 2 or 3 times at a place in Chesapeake VA. Still tastes good & holds very similar flavor profile as before but seems but less robust. If go onto BA and read some reviews, you will see regular Sam drinkers (I was only occasional) detail the altered product better than I can. In my mind the old rule "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" probably would apply here.
That's my feeling, too. Don't fix a product that needs no fixing.
I assume they found a slightly cheaper way to make it
Yeah, that could be the case.
Having one right now 🎉
Excellent!
I haven't had it since 2012 so I probably wouldn't know the difference. It's the one that got me into Craft Beer so maybe I'll give it a revisit soon. Cheers Jay!
A revisit. That's a good idea! Cheers, back to you, Dave G!
Hey man, you have done some great videos. Do you think you could do some more history videos. I really enjoy those.
Thanks! Well, I might do that, HardChuck.
Orange lager, patriotic, bubbly… way to brew, my go to, just like Anchor Steam, but better, will drink 2 occasionally, cheers
Cheers, back to you! Thanks for watching, Western Mike. I appreciate it!
I just had this. My impression is I'm glad they didn't make it less good lol. But i think i used to get a bit more hop aroma with the old version. I read that the difference is they used what seems to be the german sauergut technique, where they add soured wort (prepared before hand) to bring the mash ph into proper range, as opposed to using modern acids like lactic or phosphoric. It's supposed to yield a cleaner tasting beer and perhaps leave it clearer without needing filtration, so maybe now they're not putting it through a filter before packaging. This beer is certainly still excellent, but i'm not sure if it's better.
I think you're right, with this. Yes, it's cleaner, now.
This is one of those time where if it ain't broke, dont fix it. It was light I felt and the carbonation was missing
Right- it definitely was not broke. Thanks for watching, Roller Coaster Freak. I appreciate it!
Great review! I don't know how I feel about this. If it's like the debacle that is the new Fat Tire, I don't think I want any part of it. Cheers 🍻!
It's definitely NOT as extreme as the Fat Tire thing. This is mainly just a minor tweak. Cheers, back to you!
Sam Adam’s is also out of stock in my area. I wonder what’s going on.
It's definitely very strange.
Sams adams went woke freakin home ohs 😅
It's no surprise. It's disgusting, but not a surprise. Thanks for watching, Paul Olifrath. I appreciate it!
I Agree it Taste the Same Like Watching your BEER REVIEWS Sir
Thanks for watching, Leo Andre. I appreciate it!
No, they went from an A to a C+. There's literally no finish to it. Better than an adjunct lager, but about as remarkable as Fat Tire, which is to say not at all remarkable. It's a damn shame.
It sure did cause lots of controversy. Thanks for watching, Peremalfait. I appreciate it!
"Re-imagined"? They imagine the beer tastes different than it really does? 🤨
Yes. The illusion has been just a dream.
Interesting. I tried it for the first time today and found it noticeably less flavorful than the Samuel Adams Boston Lager I have known for decades. Greatly disappointing. It's almost like they tried to blunt the distinctive flavor to appeal to a broader customer base that finds lighter, less flavorful beer more "approachable," whatever that means.
I didn't notice such a thing, but people should say what they think about each beer. Thanks for watching, JD. I appreciate it!
They ruined it, I always had this in my fridge but i will no longer be purchasing it.
Really? Wow. Thanks for watching, Squire Muldoon. I appreciate it!
I agree, it just tastes bland now which is a shame since it was a staple for me. I won't be buying again until the OG comes back🤞
I was waiting for your review, Jay. It seems, as others have said, slightly less "dark malty" and a little more clean. I think it's not worse, and maybe even better, but I was not a massive fan of the original, so those who do love it may be a little more disappointed.
It's certainly generated lots of controversy and commotion, Jeremy. I don't know if it will end up helping Boston Beer Co., though.
:29 Easier drinking? Hmm... Isn't that the market SA Light Lager is suppose satisfy? I'm drinking this remastered version and its real good, ill buy again, but it's obvious that the flavor intensity has been turned down to a 7 from the original.
Turned down? I wouldn't be surprised, but it's too late to do a blind taste test with it. Thanks for watching, Manhattan. I appreciate it!
Whenever I hear the term "easier drinking" it's a red flag to me. The flavor intensity has definitely been turned down. They've made a great beer, less great.
It’s not a bad lager but to replace the OG SA. HELL NO.
Yeah, it makes no sense to me. But, it's basically still the same. Thanks for watching, Matt Smokes. I appreciate it!
Sorry to say it doesn’t taste as good
No, but it doesn't taste worse, either, on the other hand. Thanks for watching, RC Golf. I appreciate it!
I’ve tried it a couple times and I don’t like it either.
I never drank it that much, and I am not the greatest descriptor of taste, but in my opinion I would definitely say it's a downgrade. Lighter in color, more mild in taste. I don't remember the Remastered that well since I had it only once and it takes me a long time to really know something by heart, but it wasn't as flavorful as the original. I wouldn't say it's bad, but it's enough of a downgrade to make me not want to buy it. With prices the way they are, I definitely could see myself buying Boston Lager more since a lot of the imported 4 packs of beer have gone up 20-25% around here, but this modification makes it from a good, mild beer, to a bland one for me, which at the price point makes it a hard sell. A shame too since it's the only Samuel Adams Beer that was in 12 packs year round that I would say I enjoyed.
I saw no need to change it, but my impression is that it is such a minor tweak as to be virtually a non change.
It is awful..they should never have touched the Boston Lager.
I don't find it much different. Thanks for watching, Houdini Hir. I appreciate it!
They Ruined it for me , I will never buy it again
I think that lots of others share your feelings on this. Thanks for watching, RC Gold. I appreciate it!
Terrible 🍺
I didn't think so.
@@ronaldtheriot - Never liked SA. That 🍺 makes me want to spit it out. Just my opinion.
@@Icarusvampire Well, people should drink whatever they prefer.
@@ronaldtheriot - Well, of course! I tried it and thought SA was terrible! Never again for me! 🤣
Still an A
Oh, yes.
Boston Lager has always been my favorite American Lager. They usually brew it w Krausening like Anchor Steam but now they are using Biological acidification which is also a German brewing method. BL is a victim of its own success. Its somewhat of an anomaly of a beer and that keeps it interesting.
I'm glad that they didn't mess with the overall character of it. Thanks for watching, Josh Becque. I appreciate it!
