Sweetwater Motor Boat
Saw people talking about this in the forums over the last two weeks. Then I saw a ton of it at Total Wine & More tonight, so I picked up a six pack. Pours a nice copper red with lots a good amount of head. Smell is quite strong. Lots of floral and pine hoppiness coming through. Smells like a double IPA. Taste is not what I expected from the smell. It's not nearly as hoppy as I expected. It's quite nice though. Again, floral piney hops followed by a nice malty sweetness at the finish. Balanced well? I'll say! Mouthfeel is pretty light. Not a lot of carbonation. Drinkability is quite high. I've never had an ESB before, but I'm inclined to try more of them now. This is quite refreshing while also giving the drinker a nice set of complex flavors to sift through. Nicely done. My new favorite from Sweetwater!
