Samuel Adams LongShot Weizenbock

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

A dark reddish-brown color. Large puffy head. Wonderfully thick and cloudy. Light makes it a bit reddish on the edges. The smell is a really nice burnt hefeweizen aroma. A burst of spicy alcohol. You can smell that bubbly, Belgian aroma. Smoky with a hint of citrus/orange peel. The taste has an initial burn of spicy alcohol. Second run of heavy, dark Belgian spice. A nice mellow citrus ends it. Some roasted wheat malts as well. The feel is thick, and burns on the way down. A real milky, chewy thickness. A worthy, spicy Belgian drink. Nice and roasted; thick, strong and challenging.

12oz. bottle. Aroma brims with yeast esters, featuring plentiful clove, bubble gum and banana, along with lighter notes of dark brown sugar, licorice, raisin and faint milky chocolate. Deep, murky reddish-brown color with a lasting, fine, khaki head. Fairly well bursts with flavor, the yeast again prominent and spicy with loads of clove and anise, mingling with the rich, darkly sweet malts and latent fruitiness, finishing with a light-moderate amount of bitterness. Palate is active and gently acidic, body is medium-full. Pretty tasty rendition of the style, and was the real reason I picked up the pre-mixed six-pack that comprises the LongShot package.

Bottle from BevMo. Pours a hazy dark brownish color. Sweet yeasty aroma. Some bubblegum and spicy clove. Solid yeasty flavor with a bit of a burnt tobacco taste. Some toffee. Quite refreshing.

Quite dark and unfiltered with a nice musty fruity wheat aroma. Small short lived head. Roasted malt, spice, and clove flavor. Alcohol flavor and warming effect. Very smooth and creamy in the mouth. A spicy effervescent aftertaste. Unique and interesting. VERY good.

Murky brown liquid with a moderate head that diminishes to a lid of beige bubbles. Bananas, bubble gum, and earthy cloves scents. Toasted wheat start with a light cloves and spice coming in mid swallow along with some light fruit (bananas and pears). Finish continues with the light spice. A nice effort with a typically tough style.

Full roasted malt aroma, pleasing wheat too, cloudy brown, tiny toffee head. Flavour is a burst of roasted malt, lovely wheat kick too. Medium bodied, very well balanced, great mouth feel, entirely too easy to drink. Terrific! Thank You Torontoblue.

Pours a murky brown with a moderate head that quickly diminishes. Aroma is sweet bananas, bubble gum and earthy cloves scents. Flavor is toasted wheat, light cloves, spice and some light fruit. Finish is long and light spice. Medium bodied and average carbonation.

Medium brown body with a light khaki head. The aroma has some strong bananas. There is also some plum and clove. The taste has a little bit of clove spice working with the banana peels.There is also some plum sweetness in the finish. A big brew that drinks easy. Nicely done.
