It’s a beer from Belgium no? I’m a huge hit or miss with amber ales, some are great, some are shit. I’ll have to give this a try(aka…find it).
I am pretty sure it’s from Colorado. It’s been big with the hippies for years. I can’t remember if I’ve even ever tried it.
The brand-du-jour out here on the east coast is ‘Dogfish Head.’ It’s damn good, I got to check out the brewery last summer.
I tried their 60-minute IPA and didn’t really care for it. I couldn’t bring myself to pay $10 for a 6 pack of another type from them. I drank Ipswich a lot while I lived in Boston and could get it.
Sir,
We have very little in common when it comes to beer I’m afraid. I honestly feel that the 60min IPA is the greatest beer that exists.
I will try the Ipswich even though we may have very different tastes… If the Whole Foods has it anyway.
Do you normally prefer very hoppy beers? I do, and that 60 min is pretty darn hopped.[/quote]
I like hoppy, it was something else about that beer that turned me off from it. I don’t know what, just an odd taste.
Ipswich may not be available outside of MA, I’m not sure. Their IPA is very nice, but their Original Ale takes the cake, IMO. All of their ales are bottle-conditioned, which is nice. I used to get it on tap at Bukowski’s in Boston. I have yet to find a beer here to replace it as my stand-by.
Rogue Dead Guy is good (used to drink it when I went to the Other Side Cafe in Boston), but I can’t find it in 6 packs here, only single 22 oz bottles or whatever size it is, and it’s $5 each. I’ve been drinking Breckenridge PA from Colorado but it’s getting old quick.
