Sam Adams Rebel IPA

[757Hokie83]

west coast style IPA from Sam Adams, from what i understand. anyone had it yet? i may look for a 6er, just to give it a try, though Sam Adams usually leaves me disappointed

They have it in NY...haven't bought it yet but will probably give it a sniff.

It's pretty outstanding. I had it on tap last night but actually think it taste better out of a bottle.

Sam Adams makes an IPA now?? Never have been a huge fan of Sam Adams, except for the Boston Lager maybe. I'll drink anything and everything IPA so I will give it a shot!

I had six yesterday. I thought it was pretty good.

How are the farts treating you?

Only one so far this morning that was fair to middlin'. Not much to brag about. I didn't eat a lot yesterday either. I think I had a can of viennas and a 1 serving of vegetable lasagna for supper and that's it.

Sounds like you are fixin' to board the gravy train today... Eat up as much greasy goodness you can find.

Bacon, eggs, and grits at this very moment.

It's actually pretty good as I'm having one now while watching game of thrones. The typical citrus IPA with cascade, centennial, simcoe, chinook, and Amarillo hops. Drinking out of the bottle, so it doesn't have a strong aroma, but does have a slight resin finish. Pretty crisp though and one of the better Sam Adams in my opinion.

Just leave it to the "West Coast" to figure out this nation's beer requirements and overall outstanding new "craft style" brews.

They had it on tap at Nationals Park over the weekend so I partook. I wasn't too impressed honestly and it didn't do anything to stand out as far as my tastes go.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I had it about a month ago.

I liked it, but wouldn't buy it again unless it was on sale. Compared to other IPA's I thought it was very average, and because of that I thought it was a bit overpriced.

sounds about right for Sam Adams

I have drank it a couple times over the last month or so. It's not bad, not for a Sam Adams IPA. I like the Latitude 48 Ok too.

Just not as big a fan of Sam as I used to be. Maybe my tastes have changed, maybe it's the fact that their stock price is way up and quality is way down from what I think it used to be.

A lot of their newer beers just seem novelty to me and don't have the flavor, care, or attention to detail as some of the other brews out there. IMHO, Sierra Nevada kicks Sam's ass when talking about large scale craft breweries.

Goose Island and Bridgeport Ipa's are better. Probably Shipyard and Sierra Nevada torpedo too but these are not always available like Rebel and the date on my last Rebel 6 pack said good till June so I love the freshness.

Lagunitas is my go to when I want an IPA.

 

[Sleepy T]

I have found SN Torpedo is available nearly year round. Maybe its just me....

Lagunitas has some good stuff...
