Sam Adams- Whitewater IPA

Great Oden's beard!  This sweet nectar of the Viking gods is quite a brew!  This is a tastey treat to get us through the remainder of snow and nasty weather leading into Spring.  It has all the hip hoppy yumminess of an IPA, and the slight fruit notes of a light springtime treat. 

With apricots and spices to taste, this Sammy brew is sure to be a crowd pleaser.  The taste of the appricot is slight, but it's there.  There is a presence of citrus, but not as heavy as a Blue Moon.  This is a magical combination of a Belgian white wheat and an IPA. 

Normally, I'm pretty picky with my "Hwheat" beers, but this is one to keep on Santa's "nice" list.  It's certainly not as heavy as some wheat beers can be, so you can enjoy more than one without splitting your drawers.

Fun Facts:
5.8% ABV
Hops: Topaz, Chinook, Cascade, Simcoe, and Citra
61 IBUs


All in all, I say well done, Sam.  Well done.

Let me know your thoughts!

Cheers!
