I promise to do something other than Sam Adams soon. They were just such a darn good deal.
Disclaimer: I hate IPAs. They are too bitter and hoppy for me. But I put my big girl panties on so that I could review this beer for you. You're welcome.
So, the SA Whitewater IPA. This is the working man's IPA. Pretty smooth and nicely hopped. It's a little sweet and woody. If you want an easy drinking IPA, this is for you. I wouldn't pick this beer up again because it is too bitter for me. I even drank it warm to see if I could cut the bitterness a bit. But no, it's still like chewing on pine needles. If I did want to drink this again, I would want to be on a warm beach with an attractive man fanning me. Besides this being a warm weather beer, who can complain about beer when you are on a beach with a hottie?
Jim Koch says, "This hazy brew combines the crisp character of a white ale wit the intense pine and citrus flacors of an India Pale Ale. We took this unique combination to a new level wit the subtle addition of apricots, which provide a slight sweetness to balance the bitterness of the hops."
Cheers!
