This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Samuel Adams Wicked Tropical IPA.
Last year I chanced across some of the Samuel Adams "Wicked" beers which are strong rivals to the New Belgium Voodoo Ranger line of beers. These included the the Wicked Easy Lager (reviewed here kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2021/05/sunday-night-suds-samuel-adams-wicked.html) and the Wicked Hazy Juicy New England IPA (reviewed here kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2021/06/sunday-night-suds-samuel-adams-wicked.html).
This beer is an exceptionally juicy IPA, with strong mango and pineapple notes, but it is not just sweetness. This beer has some pine and bitter as well and combines with good carbonation and lacing. I shared it at dinner with a KBJrette and she really enjoyed.
At 6.8% abv the beer was high in alcohol for an average IPA, but the alcohol taste was not heavy. I picked this up as part of a Wicked Party Pack which gave me three cans of it, but I would have wanted more!
The Wicked Tropical IPA is under the Kosher Supervision of the Star-K and has a Star-K certification mark on the can. To see what the experts on Beer Advocate think about this brew, please follow this link - www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/35/589931/.
As always, please remember to drink responsibly and to never waste good beer unless there is no designated driver.
