Samuel Adams LongShot Weizenbock

Brewed by Boston Beer Company
Style: Weizen Bock
Boston, Massachusetts USA

Opaque even brown with huge dimpled tan head. Aroma is a bit spicy with cola notes. Clove and banana in the taste with raisiny character and medium-high residual sweetness. Fantastic, especially when compared to the other longshot brew in the box.

Murky brown pour with a nice creamy head, true to style. Full banana/clove aroma with plenty of toffee to compliment. I love this style and Rodney nails it. Very good job. The palate is perfect.

A good 7 percent beer if you’re entertaining. Acceptably smooth, but has that bocky bitterness reminiscent of Amber Bock or most any doppelbock. The deep color belies the relatively high-spectrum tartness - reminds one of a malt liquor with an edge.

Ding ding ding... this is awesome. Too bad you can’t get a straight 6 of this, instead you have to buy 3 of the grape pale ale. But this is a great beer.

12oz bottle. Pours dark brown in color with foamy tan head. Aroma fruity and yeasty. Taste of roasted malt, yeast and fruity with dry finish. Alcohol warming taste stands out.

12 oz bottle pours hazy brown with a huge, thick off white head. Aroma of spices, clove, and banana. Flavor is of clove and banana with a slight wheat bitterness at the finish. Not my favorite style, but this seems to be pretty good

Pours a dark, nearly opaque, mahogany brown color with a frothy, heavy looking tan head. This LongShot has a fairly intense aroma of yeast, alcohol, banana, smoked wheaty malts, and Belgian candy. This style of beer doesn’t produce my favorite beer aroma, but this brew has a very pronounced aroma regardless of personal taste. Flavor is very similar to the aroma, although reminds me more of an abbey dubbel than a weizen bock. Flavor blends heavy fruit flavors (plum and banana), heavy yeast flavor and heavy malt flavor. Nothing subtle in this bottle. Again, not my favorite style, and a little misrepresented by calling it a weizenbock, but still a pleasant flavor. Finish has a lasting sweetness and a slightly syrupy texture. I was very impressed by this beer, and although I don’t typically like weizenbocks, I thought this beer was a great representation of the style and a great offering from the Boston Beer Company.

Wheat and fruity aroma. Cloudy brown color with a small tan head and moderate lacing. Wheat flavor in the beginning with a slight amount of clove spices in the finish. Chewy palate.
