SweetWater Tacklebox Cont.

Let me start out by saying that I am not a big fan of IPAs......no matter what company brews it.  The SweetWater IPA is not totally bad.  I know that's not a ringing endorsement, but I am not a "hop head" by any means.  This beer is bitter, but not as bad as other IPAs I have had in the past.  I know that there is a special hop meter or scale used for IPAs.  I don't know where this would fall, but I would guess it wouldn't be as high as some.  Here's a scale that really matters: this beer has a ABV of 6.3%.  IPAs might be bitter and have an aftertaste that leaves a film in the back of your throat, but those suckers pack a punch.  So in conclusion, this would not be my first choice of SweetWater brews, but I would not avoid it like some other IPAs.
