Abita's Wrought Iron IPA. It's got an OK punch and a so-so hop profile, but I haven't had it before. It's a decent IPA worth a try, but it's not a beer I'd ruin a friendship over (that's my metric for how good a beer is).
The way I select beer at the store is eyeballing something I haven't had yet, buying it, and drinking every drop. Yes, I've bought Miller Cheladas, 40's, and Mickey's. Shoot, I've even drank a batch of my own, uncarbonated, because it didn't turn out right and I didn't feel like wasting the extra 3 weeks. However, I'll still hunt down that hard-to-find seasonal just to try it. It's all beer, so at the end of the day you'll still get a nice buzz even if it's crappy, so who cares?
