Figured I'd try Sam Adams Rebel Rider Session IPA. Sucks...the guys at Sam Adams have no idea how to make a "west coast IPA".

2 Pike brews in the fridge plus a growler full of Standard Brewing's Rye IPA.

In defense of Sam Adams (I can't believe I just said that), it is a session IPA, after all.  I wouldn't expect it to compare to a regular IPA, let alone a west coast IPA.

Have you tried Stone's or Lagunitas session IPA?  I'm curious how they compare. The whole 'session IPA' seems like such an oxymoron, I haven't been very keen to try them.  [beer]

Kinda like an Imperial Lager.....  Why?

Nah, haven't tried them. I might give them a shot though, out of curiosity. I don't mind that the SA beer is lighter...it just doesn't taste good though.

No-Li Brewhouse out of Spokane might be my new favorite all-around brewery. Every beer I've had so far has been very good, and their Imperial IPA is one of the best I've ever had.  [thumbsup]

Their Crystal Bitter was one of my favorites. I guess it became the Spin Cycle Red, but the stores here quit carrying them so I have no idea if it's still as good.
