St. Peter's India Pale Ale

Whenever I see these, I have to get at least one since they're not very common. St. Peter's IPA is a good one to try, it's very crisp, super easy to drink since it's not bitter or tart. My feelings on most IPA's is they usually taste good, but it's hard for me to drink the whole thing or drink more than one of them in one sitting because of the gritty aftertaste and the cotton mouth feeling. I would not hesitate to buy a case of these if it were available since they're so easy to drink.

I'd have to categorize this as a really good mild summer beer since there is some sweetness to it. Between this and the English Ale, and even the bad experience with the Cream Stout, I'm pretty set to buy anything St. Peter's to try at least once.

After trying one St. Peter's brew, I had to go ahead and try another. I'm a stout fan so I immediately gravitated towards this. Maybe I got a skunked bottle, but this was absolutely terrible in bitterness, dull flavor and being barely carbonated. I can equate this to a black cup of Starbucks coffee, room temperature and sitting around for an hour. Needless to say, I couldn't stomach the whole thing to acquire any taste for it and ended up pouring it down the drain. I haven't given up on St. Peter's in general since I liked the English Ale so much.

I never had a St. Peter's brew before so I did not know what to expect. This was one really good in being lightly carbonated and tasted very crisp. I can say this is probably one of the best ales for summer, it was very refreshing and tasted sweeter than most ales. It's a shame I can't get this very easily and they're not exactly cheap either. The next time I see these I'm picking up a few to hold.
