Finally! A halfway decent beer!
After a couple Genesee’s and a Michelob Ultra, I was looking forward to
a better beer. I’d say one of my own choosing, but all of these beers have been
on my own choosing – no one’s forcing me, right?
I picked up the Newcastle Winter IPA a couple weeks ago at Wegman’s. Newcastle’s been going crazy with the seasonal
this year, with their Summer Ale, Werewolf and now a Winter IPA.
I gotta say, it doesn’t really taste much like an IPA. It doesn’t have the hoppiness of an IPA, and
it’s clearer than most IPA’s. It
actually tastes like a mellow English IPA, with actually an oaky hint of
bourbon barrell. Not bad, but don’t go
expecting a traditional IPA taste.
