Sam Adams Rebel IPA

[Wishbone]

i have never been unable to find torpedo

I know that Sierra Nevada now has a brewery in North Carolina. You should be able to get it where you live. Might just have to try some different liquor stores.

Finally picked up a six of these today...will chime in on my thoughts tomorrow; niece and nephew are coming over tonight for dinner and they always bring something new with them, so i'll probably have two reviews to give.

Hope you all have a great weekend, and if you're observant, have a happy Easter.

what i meant by never unable to find torpedo, is that it is in every grocery store i've ever go in

Have to give a big ole "meh" to the Rebel.

Nothing to distinguish it from all the other grapefruity hop-bombs out there. I drank it, because I drink everything, but it's not something I would drive 20 miles out of the way to pick up. Or rather, take the subway an additional six stops to pick up.

Oddly, it had that generic Sam Adams flavor that nearly all their beers seem to have. Not sure if they're trying to do that on purpose or if it's all in my head.

eh, it's ok. Kind of weak. Definitely wouldn't call it a west coast IPA.
