So I was very happy to see a review on it, and in the end I think I will stay away. An IPA should have a good hops presence and this sounds like it would be better suited being called just a pale ale.<BR/>I have to second the recommendation for Dark Horse IPA.. fantastic stuff there.Erik Huntoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02360667752111326811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979966496068052035.post-68998568943638304112008-05-03T08:38:00.000-05:002008-05-03T08:38:00.000-05:00The Southern Tier is definitely on my list, you ju...The Southern Tier is definitely on my list, you just bumped it up a few spots!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926822130283094820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979966496068052035.post-54708635284112800102008-05-03T02:24:00.000-05:002008-05-03T02:24:00.000-05:00Yep, looks like you are turning into a "hop head" ...Yep, looks like you are turning into a "hop head" (sorry, I also don't really like that term very much.) I went through this phase just last year. Right now I got in my fridge and can recommend Dark Horse IPA and Southern Tier IPA. I still want to try Founder's IPA, which is supposed to be great. And Goose Island IPA and Lagunitas IPA are great too, and available most places. I guess they're all pretty good if you are liking hops! BTW, beer CAN be healthy! I may write a post highlighting some healthy beer facts soon. Cheers.JKWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17784695043323436256noreply@blogger.com
