Boston Beer Samuel Adams New England IPA Beer Review

Finally decided to take a look at the Samuel Adams New England IPA from Boston Beer Company, and I have to say that I was quite surprised and pleased by it as it was better than I thought it would be. At 6.8% ABV and 35 IBU, I thought the beer did well with bringing in the citrus, fruity and tropical tones expected of this style. It also did well on being somewhat juicy and having a bit of a resiny as well as hoppy quality. Now this being said, it is not at the level at some of the smaller craft breweries but among some of the bigger ones, it is pretty damn good. This one for me was 4 out of 5 and easily one that I could drink again. Check out my video if you would like to see and hear more on this one.
