Beer of the Week: Redhook Long Hammer IPA

Beer score: 5.4

Company: Redhook Brewery
ABV: 6.2
IBU: 44

Pours a light golden color into a clear glass. There are hints if citrus and pine in the smelling.

In tasting, there's a little burnt sweetness, but there's not much of the sourness that comes with some IPAs. However, that sourness will show up if you let this beer sit a while and grow to room temperature. There's not a lot of bitterness here at first, but there is some as you swallow. There are also more hints of citrus and pine in the drinking.

Not a bad beer. Not a great beer, either, but I wouldn't turn one down unless there were better beers at hand.
