Pours a cloudy amber in color with a sticky and foamy off-white head.The aroma is all about the hops: Herbal, earthy, citrus -- this beer has it all. The aroma reminds me of smelling hops before homebrewing.
The taste is wonderful. Big hops flavors (earthy, vegetable and citrus) and bitterness mix with a slight sweetness from the malt. This is a hop bomb. This must have been dry-hopped with pounds of the stuff. The hop flavors are soap-like, and I mean that as a compliment. Noticeable alcohol flavors.
Great body that's smooth yet also light, perhaps from the alcohol.
A must for hopheads, especially at the ridiculous cheap price SA charges for its Longshot six-packs.
This is a masterpiece and the best beer I've had from Samuel Adams.
