Sam Adams, Sierra Nevada, and...?
I have tried the SN one, it is AWESOME(and I normally also don't like strong IPAs) Going to try the Sam Adams one soon...

I think Sam Adams has a few of them too rebel ipa which is the red one then there's rebel rider ipa which I believe is the double ipa and lithe label looks similar just green
It's very good. They have a Crystal ipa that I'd like to try too, but haven't seen it on tap yet. Don't really want to buy a sixer of it though. My fridge is pretty full already...

They also have Rebel releases featuring hop varieties. A new beer called Rebel Raw, a dipa at 10% 100ibus! Quite the far end of the spectrum for SA. Id like to trythat one!

me neither. I thought it had that ricey taste you get from coors or bud

i like ranger. Just dont drink a bunch on a hot day. It seems to make you really thirsty
I think that entire "Rebel" line is tailor made for people that "dont like IPAs". At least Sam Adams knows their consumer base
Names pretty ironic if you ask me. Trying to cash in on the most popular style for the past decade isnt exactly breaking the mold...

"Lazy extract brewer."
NB's Rampant is pretty good, though.

Agreed, Rampant is great, especially for the price (usually $8 a six pack around here).

Rebel (red) is %6.5.
Yep. I usually defend Sam Adams, this sums up my thoughts on this line.
Only time I buy it is when Harris Teeter has the 12pk on sale for 11.99! Otherwise there's plenty of better IPA's out there...speaking of which, had the IPA variety pack from Terrapin this weekend. Pricey for 12pk of cans ($17) but they had their Hopsecutioner, their session IPA (4.7%), a South Pacific IPA (Krunkles down under), and their "west coast" IPA....all were great.

I had a fresh 12 pack of the blue Rebel Rider from SA this past summer. Great summer brew, went down easy.

Not impressed with the grapefruit. More of a grapefruit rind flavor.
Don't know when I'll finish that 6pack...

I had a SA summer assortment recently that included this Rebel IPA and I thought it was pretty good too.

I used to love the Rebel IPA but the last couple times I had it it was horrible tasted like straight crystal malts and zero hop flavor nor aroma. Don't know if I just know what a good IPA is now or what but it was bad.
