I like the hint of grapefruit that hops can provide to a good IPA/Double IPA, but the more I drank this beer, the more it started reminding me of grapefruit juice instead of beer. They used grapefruit zest to add to the grapefruit. It had such a strong smell of grapefruit, I was amazed. (Brewery provided sample)įirst, the good. OK, back to the hops with Stone’s, err, I mean Stochasticity Project’s inaugural beer, the Grapefruit Slam IPA. If you’re a fan of light, flavorful beers, you could do a lot worse than this. It is one of those beers that are so easy drinking you don’t realize how fast you were drinking it until your glass is empty. It’s light, but has nice fruity flavors with just a touch of honey and sweet bready maltiness. The Escape Route is a good interpretation of the style. If you have been following my blog for a while, I have been beating the drum for more breweries to brew Kolsches as summer beers instead of the standard wheat ales. (Brewery-provided sample).Įscape Route is a Kolsch. Now, taking a break from hoppy beers, let’s take a look at the Samuel Adams limited-release spring beer, Escape Route. Overall though, I thoroughly enjoyed this beer, and I’m glad I have five more to drink. If this beer has any negative, it was a little lighter than I expected. When you drink it, you get both the citrus and pine, but you also get some peach and grass in there too, with a slight biscuit malt finish. This beer is a pleasure to smell – a big citrusy smell with a hints of freshly cut pine.
If you enjoy the smell of hops, this is the beer for you. I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about this beer, but for some reason, I just couldn’t find it despite it being widely available.ĭespite the search, I finally got my hands on it on Thursday and gave it a try.
