New one at the store a few days ago, picked it up
Red Hare SPF 50/50
Their Gangway IPA w grapefruit
Typical Red Hare. Good idea, cool name, pretty packaging...average beer
One of my top 5 beers is Ballast Point's Sculpin IPA. They make a Grapefruit Sculpin as well and it is one hell of a good beer. I was hoping that the local Red Hare may have something to rival it. Nope. Weak hops taste, super low bitterness(which means not good for an IPA) and way too much grapefruit. It's not a Shandy or anything like that but it's a very average beer. Disappointed. The other 5 will probably be in my beer fridge for awhile.
Just looked this up on Beer Advocate. They give it a 90 which means "world class". I disagree but that's ok
Just goes to show that ones mans trash is another mans treasure.
i snagged some at the store the other day as well. i thought it was a great "hot day" beer, for the lake, or an all day outing.. its low content makes it a good session.. ill take the other 5 off your hands lol
My experience is that I will give the same beer a different rating depending on a lot of things: was I pissed off that day, was I happy that day, was the sun up yet, what beer I had before it, what other beer I could have had instead of that one (opportunity cost hits me often when there are other great beers available), etc...so maybe when Tony has the second one, it will be a different experience.
