LongShot Double IPA
This is a very strong IPA release from the Sam Adam's 2008 competition winners and is a very notable entry. It has a deep almond color in the glass, half-opaque. The smell is very exquisite and contains a large variety of flavors to the nose. Grapefruit, Red Apple, and a strong overall citrus aroma fills the head. Taste is extremely strong and bitter with a lot of hops. Definitely seems like a balanced ale to me. Mouthfeel and drinkability are both quality and can't be spoken against, especially for a double IPA. Overall, very good stuff and yet another good choice for the 08 Sam Adams competition.
