Sweet Water IPA from Sweet Water Brewing Company is from
Atlanta Georgia. There is about 65 IBU’s
in this beer with an ABV of 6.7%. I got
this beer going down to Kentucky and I actually saw it in a gas station. I was pumped to see some good craft brew.
Appearance- With a
steady pour I get about a 1.5 finger of tiny bubbled head. This beer is highly carbonated with a
beautiful burnt orange color to it. This
is the definition of a light amber beer.
Totally transparent the whole way through the beer. Great lacing the entire way down the glass.
Smell- HUGE lemon hop
scent right on the front of the nose with a sweet malt finish to it. High amounts of grapefruit and citrus are
present in this beer. It has all of
those tropical fruit scents to it that are appeasing. There is a bit of a malt background to this
beer.
Taste- Wow that is
perhaps the lemoniest IPA I have had.
That is incredibly interesting. I
get more of the grapefruit on the middle of the tongue with almost zero
lingering bitterness on the back of the tongue.
There is a slight malty caramel sweetness on the end of the taste for
sure.
Mouthfeel- this beer
goes down so smooth its unreal. The
mouthfeel is quite light and the carbonation makes it highly drinkable and the
low ABV makes it sessionable. When I
think of a summer time/ lawn mower IPA I will imagine this beer.
Overall, this is a great IPA. The crispness of this brew is fantastic. I would recommend this to any beer
drinker. Actually, my friend was here as
I reviewed it and he loved it (his favorite beer is miller 64). Yes it’s that good and I will definitely pick
up another six pack next summer if I get the chance. This is not my favorite IPA by any means but
the subtle differences really lead me to enjoy it. CHEERS!
