Beer
Nyeeeeeee-assssssssssss-teeeeeee...

At $19.99 a case of 24 cans @ 12oz...
It is a RIP-OFF

IT TASTES LIKE A "FAILED ATTEMPT" at an
ICE BEER...but since it does have a slight hoppy taste...the brewery decided to call it an IPA...EVEN THOUGH IT IS A MISTAKE...

I CALL IT "LIONS HEAD FAILED IPA ICE BEER"
IT IS THICK, IT IS 6.7 % ABV AND IT GIVES YOU A HEADACHE..

WILLKES BARRE, PA LIONS HEAD IPA IS
ROUGH...

Neither did I until I tried some good ones. Low IBU = hot weather goodness.

I'm talking IBU in the range of 20-30 or so. Many are called New England style or hazy styles.

Next time try to find an American Pale Ale. Not Sierra Nevada or those kind, they're Pale Ales, but American Pale is a style unto itself...

The flavor of the hops, ala IPA, without a lot of the bitterness.

I've hated every IPA I tried until I tried Russian River Brewing Co's Pliny The Elder. It's hoppy, but not overly so, and the bitterness doesn't overpower the flavor of the beer. Crisp finish.

I can do cheap. Still a warm spot in my heart for a nice Strohs. I can do dark, especially when they crank up the abv to oops I didn't mean to get buzzed. I can do in between, though aside looking to try Rick's recommendation, still not a fan of IPAs. It's time a accept the truth. I'm panalcoholual
