Pretty gross. I would never buy a six-pack (or big bottle) of this stuff, but it came in a Sam Adams Seasonals twelve-pack. I was hesitant to even try it. Gross. Gross. Gross.

Infidel Lime IPA, from Trade Route Brewing Company
Season: Spring
ABV: 7.5%

A good, hoppy IPA with a heavy citrus taste - which could come from the hops, or the lime leaves it was brewed with. Ive never heard of a "Spring IPA," but whatever - I'll drink it!

A delicious copper malt, followed by a wonderful hoppy bitterness. I would have to say that this is my favorite of all the summer beers that I've tried.
