Sweetwater IPA
Sweetwater IPA 12oz Bottle into Snifter Hazy pale orange with a fluffy off white head. Citrus rind and just very slightly piney hops in the aroma--there's a pleasantly sweet malt backbone that plays nicely with the aromatic hops. The hops upfront infuse the beer with a sweetly floral flavor, citrus rind and a solid maltiness that comes across a bit sweet and helps to balance things out nicely. While the hops don't linger too long in the finish, the beer is very drinkable with plenty of hop character. Not sure I'd reach for this one again--with all the IPAs I currently enjoy satisfying my hop cravings, this one falls just shy of making it in the rotation.
