Hey guys, with warmer weather rolling around for us in the Northeast, I'm wanting to do a more refreshing lighter beer (Caribou Slobber and Irish Red on tap now) for the warmer months ahead. I can't say I have been a big fan of IPA's mostly due to the fact I can't find any that aren't overwhelmingly bitter, and the finish being so "dry". Even Great Lakes Commodore Perry that people especially like does not sit well with me. My interest was re-ignited when I went to the Marietta Brewery for the house Buck(I)PA. It was refreshing, hoppy, and was bitter, but in a good way.
SO, is the Dead Ringer a good way to get into IPA's and a good warm weather drink? Everybody loves it, but it seems everyone these days is loving the heavily hopped IPA's.
This will be my 5th extract, and I feel I am starting to get the hang of it and learning from my mistakes and want this one to be the best brew yet.
