Wet Hop IPA
Swiftwater Brewing Company

 

So I'm an IPA guy and I rarely rate them low. Unfortunately, this one didn't make my minimal cut. The color was lighter than I expected, but I still had high hopes with the massive amount (75 lbs) of Cascade, Chinook, and Nugget hops. This started bad on initial taste and got worse as it went. I found the flavor to be off the mark for an IPA with an aftertaste that I just can't explain - not a standard beer flavor. The smell was not as bad, with the traditional hoppy scent but again, it just seemed to have unusual impurities in the odor. The feel was nothing unusual, but that is standard. I would not recommend this IPA, there are much better options out there.
