Beer-a-Day #173
For the last several years, Samuel Adams has sponsored a homebrew contest where three lucky homebrewers get their winning recipes brewed, bottled, and marketed. I picked up a pack of the 2008 winners.
Since I grabbed a bunch of other Sam Adams at the same time, I guess it’s the start of another Samuel Adams week.
The third brew in the Longshot package will be a Cranberry Wit created by Carissa Sweigart, winner of the Samuel Adams employee homebrew competition. Carissa’s beer was chosen by over 1,111 beer lovers at the 2008 Great American Beer Festival™ from among the 3 employee homebrew finalist. Congratulations Carissa!
Hazy yellow with a nice big white head. I can smell the cranberry but it’s subtle. They’re similarly subtle in the flavor, with a clean and refreshing taste. That’s very good. So good, in fact, that my wife has laid claim to the other bottle.
