Yes, another Sam Adams brew. This isn't because all I drink is Sam Adams, I just happen to have a large number of varieties in my fridge.
This Beer In-Review focuses on an interesting brew: the Sam Adams 48 Latitude IPA (India Pale Ale for those beer newcomers). The description on the side of the bottle claims that this IPA is brewed with German, English and American hops - interesting enough. Upon pouring, it has a nice dark amber color with a full, foamy head. Here's the review:
Taste: Very bitter ale. Haven't had too many IPAs so I can't comment on how it compares. Very intense hop character. Definitely not for amateur beer drinkers. 3.5/5
Finish: Not a huge fan of the finish on this one, possibly because I haven't had much experience with bitter brews. Goes down smoothly, but that strong bitterness lingers in your mouth. 3/5
Final Score: 6.5/10
The Bottom Line: Not my favorite Sam Adams brew. Not a big fan of the bitterness of this brew, but this is possibly due to my lack of experience with IPAs. Far from bad, but I probably won't be purchasing it again anytime soon. Who knows, maybe once I become a more experienced beer-drinker, I'll give it a second chance.
