Tasting Backstory: Sam Adams selected three home brew recipes and put two bottles of each in a box. Overall, it was a neat little sampler. This beer was a solid malty brew. I tend towards hoppy offerings but can appreciate a nice malt profile. With this malty offering plus a hoppy brew and a flavored wheat beer the Longshot Sampler was about as varied in styles as you can get.
