Moderately hazy yellow with a creamy, white head; head becomes a medium-sized ring and leaves a tiny bit of lacing. Aroma is sharply sweet, sugary berry, honey, citrus, bread, and hops. Flavor exudes a lot of berry; bready and wheaty; light hops in the finish. Medium body; very lightly sticky on the lips. One of the best fruit beers I’ve had to date; fruity but not fake; mellow and bready; a nice spring beer.

Jun 18, 2008 Probably my favorite of the longshot series so far. The name summed up the experience nicely. Hazy straw color with fair off-white head. Never had a boysenberry before, but the flavor was quite enjoyable.

Apr 1, 2008 12 oz bottle Poured cloudy golden with a nice aroma of fruit. Flavor is of a nice American style wheat with Boysenberry. Very Easy to drink. Too bad this isn’t going to become a regular.

Mar 16, 2008 This is a great fruit beer. Really well balanced with a super boysenberry flavor. Nice cloudy pour with a small cream colored head. Very smooth and easy to drink. I was lucky to score a pack of the longshot winners in Augusta at a Publix while I was at the Masters.

Mar 13, 2008 12 oz bottle from Odeed; nose of boysenberries and light bread; hazy gold with a small offwhite head; flavor of grain and light boysenberries; not overpowering fruit as in a lot of fruit beers! Nice light fruit beer.

Mar 8, 2008 I love the sam adams long shot. This beer had great potential when i opened and poured it. Not being a big fruit beer fan, I thought the flavor was overbearing. Smooth to drink and a easy finish.
