It's no secret that I love all things green. Money, vegetation, recycling, and HOPS! So while I was looking around the local "Liquor Stockhouse" today, I found a case of Samuel Adams Latitude 48 IPA, the "Deconstructed" variety pack.
2 bottles of the IPA itself, and 2 bottles with each of the 5 different hops singled out. It's like listening to individual tracks of a mix! Brilliant!
Who else likes extremely hoppy beer? What's your favorite brew? |

Have you tried the Sierra Nevada Torpedo extra IPA? Great, great stuff there. |

|  | no really, smokemeth&hailsatan | | Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Pueblo, CO | | | Had the Latitude 48 IPA last night (not the deconstruct). Pretty good stuff, but not as flavorful or with the hop bite that I usually look for. Definitely has smooth finish with a little note of the hops aftertaste. The first taste had a nice stronger flavor, but the malt note was a little disappointing.
As far as favorite IPA's: Modus Hoperandi from Ska, Mojo IPA and Mojo Risin' from Boulder, Compass IPA from Bristol Brewery, Titan IPA and Denver IPA (haven't tried the Hercules Double IPA yet) from Great Divide, and Ranger IPA from New Belgium.
Those are the ones I'll drink any day, anytime, anywhere, with anybody. |

My favorite IPA, while not super-hoppy, is Sweetwater. For more hops, I dig the aforementioned Terrapin Hopsecutioner.

my newest love is "sublimely self-righteous IPA" from stone. it has plenty of hoppy bite, with a nice toasty flavor. it's as dark as Guinness.

There is a point that when a beer gets too hoppy it starts to taste bitter like Palmolive soap and doesn't have a good mouthfeel.
That Leviathan was pretty darn close to that. I had another Flying Dog IPA I can't remember the name of that was bordering on bitter soap as well. |

The other go to brew would prolly be titan or ranger. |

As for crazy hopped beers, Modus Hoperandii and O'Dell's IPA are my two favs. |

It's one of the few beers I drink year round since I tend to be very seasonal with my choices of brews (ie, wheat during summer, imperial stuff during the winter). As if it weren't an amazing and fairly strong C-hopped IPA, it goes extremely well with a nice sharp cheddar, especially white aged sharp cheddar. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
