Latitude 48 Deconstructed IPA - Simcoe
Clear amber orange body with a nice tall white head. The carbonation appears aggressive. Smell is grapefruit and a touch of pine. It smells good, but lacks punch. Fortunately, the hops are more pungent in the flavor. Grapefruit and rind, then the pine. It's moderate bitterness has a light sweet balance from the malt. Mouthfeel is crisp and clean. The body is on the lighter side. Light puckering effect. It's a very drinkable beer with a relatively mild abv, making it good for the summer months. I think this is the best Sam Adams beer I've had.
