Commercial Description:
Created by Rodney Kibzey, Illinois Rodney describes his wonderfully complex brew as "deep amber in color with a full creamy body and a dark fruit and clove aroma." This traditional Bavarian style brew took Rodney a few batches to perfect, but the taste is worth all of his hard work.

Pours cloudy mahogany with a soft white head. Big banana estery nose, cloves and figs kinda jumped into my head. Smooth and rich on the palate, wheat body gives that soft and smooth feeling to this on the palate.

Poured a dark amber color with fluffy white head that stayed around for a while. Aroma is of wheat, banana, and spices. Taste is also of banana and spices. Mouthfeel is perfect for the style and drinkability is good for the style.

Aroma is wonderfully fruity with Banana most prevalent. Color is dark copper. Flavor is very interesting caramel and malty. This beer is truly excellent! It has taken position as one of my favorite beers.

12 oz bottle: Caramel, wheat , yeast, banana are all in the aroma. Pours a muddy murky brown with a medium sized tan head that lingers. Taste is quite nice with the banana prevalent, wheat, clove, and dark fruit are all inside of this one. Aftertaste is surprisingly creamy for a Weizenbock. Overall, pretty darn good wheat bock in my honest opinion. Cheers!

Pours a hazy brown with a thick white head. Lots of banana on the nose. Taste is strong with clove, wheat, banana and othe fuit. Finish is sweet and dry.

I’m currently using the LongShot series as an attempt to inspire me as I go through the tedious task of bottling the first batch of homebrew I’ve made in a few years. This beer was actually pretty successful at being inspiring. Poured a murky brown, decent head. Huge aroma of banana and clove, along with some dark fruits and a hint of vanilla. Flavor was vanilla, followed by banana, loads of dark fruit from lush malts, and a clove finish with a kiss of citric tang. Really quite excellent, I thoroughly enjoyed this. Well done, Mr. Kibzey.
