Samuel Adams Longshot Traditional Bock

4 Jun

Name – Samuel Adams Longshot Traditional Bock
Country – United States
Type – Bock

Appearance – Pours a semi clear brown to dark red color with a one finger off white head that disappeared quickly.

Smell – Slight caramel and roasted malts are picked up but it is pretty subdued.

Taste – Slight malt taste up front but it is very thin with some roasted notes.  Rather underwhelming.

This is the last in the Longshot pack from Sam Adams and it just came across and a very underdone bock.  The smells and taste were so thin and just didn’t have a good punch to them for what you would expect from a bock.

Overall Grade – D+
