Westbrook IPA

Lagunitas IPA. So damn good. Not sure what hops they use but it hits your tongue just right.

Yep, their beers are awesome!  I really like Lagunitas Sucks.

Got a sampler 12 pack of Sierra Nevada:
Black IPA
Torpedo Extra IPA
Ruthless Rye IPA
Golden IPA

Sierra Nevada Black IPA up first...


Very disappointing. Very low hop taste. It does have  a nice coffee type finish but over all this is a buster.

Did those come from the North Carolina plant?

I still think you are a lucky man to get such good beer all of the time, even if this one was a bust.  Black IPA is a BS category...the contradiction is in the acronym.

I have come to that conclusion as well. This is not my first disappointment with a "black" IPA.

Just had the Sierra Nevada Ruthless IPA. It was better, but still average.

Tony, compared to the Lagunitas beers, you are likely to be very disappointed with most Sierra Nevada hoppy brews.  The SN stuff is good, but not nearly the same as Lag.  Get someone to bring you some Pliny the Elder...that's a real treat.  If you get to Philly, there is a bar there that serves it on tap.  The only place east of the Mississippi that I'm aware of that carries it.

Had Pliny last time I was in Seattle. Super killer.

Having another SN Ruthless IPA. A little better., but Clark you nailed it, there IPA flavors can't hang with Lagunitas. Shoot, it can't hang with any of the local IPA's like SweetWater or terrapin. It's on par w Red Hare

I'm a big fan of Sierra Nevada. But I've not had one of their IPA's worth having a second.
