But they are very hoppy without the bitterness that many overly hopped (like Hophead) beers exhibit.
I have enjoyed IPA's since they first came on the scene. But now I am on a craft brew Larger kick. It is all about the balance. Does that mean I'm getting old?
Not in the least! 420 is a wonderful, well balanced beer. I went over to Lager Land about 5 years ago and haven't looked back. Having consumed many varieties, I am always impressed at how well made Sam Adams is. I know, not very adventurous... but consistently good and great from a cold tap. My favorite so far is Brooklyn Lager, which is available pretty much anywhere these days.
I don't often drink IPA's anymore, but when I do...
