I'm on holiday visiting various relatives in the states and of course sampling a variety of American beers.
I'll admit I like my hoppy beers (or dark stouts) and am a bit indifferent to "brown" and amber ales. Most American craft beers I have found have been pushing 6% or more, but have been more enjoyable than a lot of UK commercial beers I have had since starting home brewing.
Highlights from week 1 have been
Sam Adams grapefruit rebel ipa. Not dissimilar to the Young's aipa kit and very drinkable. (Pic below)
Left hand introvert (think the left hand brewery is from colorado).
This was a very mouth puckering dry ipa which was great having been travelling for 22hrs, and surprisingly only 4.9% (so I should have had more than one).
