Year of Beer: #176 Sam Adams - Longshot Weizenbock
Sam Adams hold a yearly competition called "Long Shot". It is a large advertised national homebrew competition. The winners beer gets made by Sam Adam and sold in the seasonal Long Shot packaging.
This beer's aroma has a clove spice aroma with a light malt note. The appearance is dark brown and hazy. The head is very thick with the initial pour filling the glass almost to the top.
This beer has a slight bubble gum sweet taste. The taste also has a pronounced clove flavor that is blending with the sweetness. The mouthfeel is thin and smooth. The finish is clean with just a light clove taste remaining.
This is a nice straight, tasty beer. Nothing too complex going on, but still a nice taste. I am not very familiar with this style of beer, but I will keep an eye out for others if they taste this good. read more »

Show 46: The Wort of Darkness 2, Stout-tastic Boogaloo
Prebeer Preamble: Dark beers stir their own special passion in the beer enthusiast, and it’s been a while since this show has simply reveled in the blackness. Well the wait is over, because today is all about the special magic that roasted, toasted, and even charred grains bring to the beer-drinking experience. The black style known as stout has many sub categories, promising many similar shows to come, but for now we’re going to look at the two ends of the stout spectrum. read more »

A Good Beer Blog: Holland: Zatte, Brouwerij 't IJ, Amsterdam
A Good Beer Blog --
A beer with an ostrich on the front for leap day. I had the brewer's sibling brew Struis from Amsterdam's Ij last September but for $6.20 for 330 ml was not impressed by the price but enjoyed the experience. Let's see what $4.99 gets you.
The brewer's website is of little help but the wide ranging BAers assure me that this is a tripel. It pours a light clear gold with a very milky fine white froth and rim. In the mouth there is bubblegum, tangerine, icing sugar, pear skin and juice as well as dry mineral and herbal notes amongst the slightly tea astringent shadow of a hop. In the finish, some heat rises up amongst the slightly yogurty yeast. read more »

SevenPack Beer Blog: Clipper City “Holy Sheet” Uber Abbey Ale
Well, dag nabbit (as my good friend, Roy Williams, might say) - I really thought I had found a new brew when I saw the Holy Sheet on the shelf. However, I’m now hearing that this beer first debuted back in early 2007. So, where have I been? And, why wasn’t this beer on NC shelves in 2007? Frankly, I’m insulted. But, frankly, I’m still glad to try this beer. Clipper City makes some serious brews, and they make some big brews. I’m curious to see what they can do with a genre that is, by nature, pretty serious and big already.
The Holy Sheet pours a surprisingly clear, but deliciously dark ruby red. There is a medium off-white head for just a bit, but it quickly sizzles down to nothing. The aroma of the beer is fairly mild, but full of spice. I’m sensing a fair amount of cinnamon here, but there is also some licorice involved. On the tongue, the initial sensation is a light sweetness that isn’t entirely large. However, the flavor does fill out a bit as the beer travels down the tongue. This beer is slippery and rich in the mouth, going from lightly sweet to rich and maple-y, ending with a mild holiday spiciness with a mediocre bitter kick. The aftertaste does stick around on the back of the mouth for a bit, leaving us with a lingering mild bitterness. Honestly, I’m not near as blown away by this beer as I have been by other Clipper City brews. However, what can you expect? The Belgian abbey ale category is chock full of exceedingly delicious beers, and may have as tough an arena as any varietal out there. So, for what it is, this is a tasty brew - better than most even, but not one of the best abbey-style ales you’ll have. read more »
