4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20Golden color, clear, with a fluffy white head. Light malty aroma, little hops, flower and honey. Biscuit and bready malts, balanced with a light bitterness. This beer improves substantially as it warms. Very clean and well made, and a rare example of a Sam Adams brewed beer that lacks that indescribable yet distinguishing Sam taste. Best of the Longshot series, and I would take this over the Boston Lager (which I like) any day. Subtle yet delightful.

Bottle. Pours gold with a small white head. Malt/biscuit aroma with some herbal hops and light citrus. Moderately sweet bread/biscuit malt flavor with light herbal/floral hops and a touch of citrus. Similar finish.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Poured a clear medium orange color. The head was thin and off white. Bread, hay and subdued caramel malt aromas with a hint of noble hop. Medium bodied and slightly sweet with mild bitterness. Malt forward flavors that followed the aroma. There was also a dash of brown sugar with noble hops in the background.

UPDATED: OCT 13, 2010 One of a few Samuel Adams LongShot’s I have tried. I like them, a nice change from their standard.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a slightly hazy light copper color with white head. Aroma is honey, vanilla, fruity, a touch of grain, and a slightly herbal note. Flavor is honey, vanilla, fruity, toast, and a bitter spicy finish.
0.8 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20
Reminds me of a fine belgian urine, with notes of fruit, honey, and wheat. Overall not appealing and would do better in a toilet than a mouth.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Pours a golden body with a white head. Sweet citrus and lots of grain, thin with a light sweetness and the a grainy dull bitter finish. Not so great. Must have been better as a small batch.

Overall Impression:
Out of the LongShot pack from I believe 2007? I remeber thinking this was decent but unremarkable. Old notes had it rated here, so I’ll just trust those...
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Poured yellow with a white head. Aroma of fruit. Some fruit and candy flavor. Not a favorite.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pretty drinkable, but not very memorable. Malt, caramel, not much hops. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Not offensive, but nothing I’d write home about.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Clear gold appearance with medium size white head and good lacing. Pleasant, although somewhat muted, toasted malt aroma with a hint of honey. Sweet malt taste, grainy, a touch of butterscotch, mild fruitiness. Moderately hopped, medium bodied, well carbonated mouth feel.
