Samuel Adams Longshot Derf's Secret Alt‏ (JT's Review)

Most of you know the story of Sam Adam's Longshot series home brewing contest. If you don't, get with it. Its a pretty cool thing.



Fred Hessler is the author of this Sticke Alt. Fred is my kind of guy in that he slammed this thing full of malts. It is malty, and then malty again, followed by just enough citrus to knock the edge off before it finishes with a sweet malty flavor. At 9.3% ABV, it packs a nice punch too.



I will say this. I was a little surprised that they put this beer out in the summer. It really doesn't go with the 100 degree days of summer here in Arkansas, but it was good. It might be better enjoyed this fall as things cool down outside.
