I got my shipment of (mostly)West coast IPAs:
Lost Coast Indica(new to me) Rate Beer rating: 3.94 Lagunitas Rate Beer rating: 3.64 Rogue I2PA(new to me) Rate Beer rating: 3.88 Anderson Valley Hop Ottin Rate Beer Rate Beer rating: 3.75 Jamaica Sunset(new to me) Rate Beer rating: 3.31 Avery(new to me) Rate Beer rating: 3.62
The Hop Ottin I've actually had available to me in Casper...outstandingly hoppy IPA. A wonderful summertime thirst quencher...yeah sure. ;^) I'm now sipping on the Avery from Colorado. It has a much more complex flavour than the Hop Ottin. Still powerful in the hop department(I'm guessing that it's dry hopped) but I sense a malt presence there. I'd rate the Avery over the Anderson Valley but it's a tough call.
I also got some Traquair House Ale(Rate Beer rating: 3.74) and James Squire Porter.(Rate Beer rating: 3.39) The TH is one I've really enjoyed in the past and the JSP is new to me.
I thought I'd post the ratings of each brew from the Rate Beer dot com site just to give an indicator as to how others feel about these beers.(5 points=perfect)
Best regards, Bill
