Samuel Adams Latitude 48 IPA
The clear copper body sits beneath a one finger off-white head that diminishes and leaves sticky lacing The smell is citric, extremely floral with a light toastiness. The taste is expectedly piney, with big grapefruit notes and a slight cracker finish. Hops oil abound. The aftertaste is long with a rough husky astringency along with a solid hops presence. I was surprised to see that Sam Adams puts out an IPA, and a good one. This isn't as tame as one might expect, and it quite drinkable as a result.
