This was labeled Sample A for Sam Adams’ 2010 Beer Lover’s Choice Longshot competition. Sample A, a Belgian-style IPA, is an incredibly complex beer that begins with the fruity, sweet, slightly tart and spicy characteristics of Belgian ale yeast. The blend of malts, including a traditional slow-roasted Czech variety, adds a crisp, slightly roasty note. This is complemented by a combination of German and American hops, which add complex notes of eucalyptus, pine and citrus. The beer finishes with the distinct hop bitterness expected from an IPA, immediately demanding a second sip.

I can't believe I picked this over the rye ale which is one of my favorite styles but this was just better (albeit not by much). The fruity hops and spicy yeast seem to mesh well together. Not a style I tend to really enjoy but this is just a well made beer.

well done and better than expected. the clear cut winner in my book. great body and balance of tropical fruity sweetness, spicy belgian yeast, and piney bittering hops.
