I've been looking for a Sam Adams Boston Lager Clone recipe everywhere and haven't come up with much. I'm not trying to copy it exactly but I love the aroma and the taste and I want to try to get something close to, perhaps "inspired by" the boston Lager. Upon smelling and tasting a large amount of it, , I have noticed that there are definitely some elements of an Amber malt and some cascade hops.

Anybody know the recipe?

I think Clone Brews has a clone recipe for it.

Austin Homebrew has a kit:

Google around a bit. You'll find clone recipes. Or buy Clone Brews. It's a fun book.

I wanted to stay away from making clone beers, as part of the reason I've gotten into homebrewing is because its a change from the norm. But, I decided that owning Clone Brews is a good idea and I just ordered, it looks like a kick ass book.
