No real aroma other than a very mild caramel malt sweetness. Taste is clean and uneventful. No real aftertaste. Very akin to a nice glass of water. Not offensive in any way, but not exciting either.
3 out of 5 stars.

Great Lakes Elliot Ness
Sweet aroma with a slightly sharp edge to it. Taste is flavorful malt zing, with hops fully supporting in background with flavor, but no bite. Taste is left sticky sweet, a bit caramely.

Great Lakes Eliot Ness
Nice malty aroma. Clean, crisp malt bite with a hint of mild hops to give it a clean bite, but no hoppy aftertaste.
4.5 out of 5 Stars.
Sam Adams Boston Lager
Served in the special Sam Adams glass. Nice fresh, slightly sweet smell. Great full malt flavor with a nice hop bite on the back end of it. Fades out slowly and leaves you with a clean grainy hop taste.
The only way to go with Sam Adams is on tap. Out of a bottle doesn’t do it justice. But beware- a lot of the time on tap it can be too sweet and without that fresh hop bite. Or maybe this custom glass really rocks!
