Hi Adam

I've just been to Vegas for a week and drank a lot of Sam Adams. It's a nice drop. Let me know if you find a decent recipe!

From their site

Samuel Adams Boston Lager is brewed using two-row Harrington, Metcalfe, and Copeland pale malts, and Caramel 60 malt, as well as the Noble hop varieties of Hallertau Mittelfrueh and Tettnang Tettnanger. The traditional brewing processes, including decoction mash (a four vessel process) and krausening (a secondary fermentation), allow the large quantities of these ingredients to come together and form layers of complex flavor. Towards the end of the process the beer is also dry hopped using the Hallertau Mittelfrueh hops for an enhanced hop signature in the aroma and finish. The process may be labor intensive but it’s essential in developing the distinct balanced full flavor of Samuel Adams Boston Lager.

So pale ale malt plus some caramel 60 ( i would guess something like 5-10%) for an OG of about 1050
They mention a decoction mash so you might want to put some munich or a touch of melanoidin malt in there if you don't want to faff about with decoctions.
Mittelfreuh and Tettnanger
Dry hopped with Mittelfrueh
ferment with lager yeast (low temps as for a normal lager)

That would be my guess at it. The US forums, brewing network, BYO magazine are probably good places to look.
