Oh for fuck’s sake. Honestly, who would ruin a good beer by putting fruit in it? This is America, and there’s a damn good reason why sangria is NOT our national drink. Sam Adams is trying to be edgy and cool, hey i can tolerate that from Sam after years of being the best alternative to Bud-Coors-Miller. But really, this one is a complete fucking mistake. They call this round of newer beers the “Rebel” line of IPAs. I say we quash this particular rebellion with mass executions and burn every structure in their dishonest grapefruit homeland. Sow salt in their furrows, and forced sterilization for the few children who remain in scorched Grapefruit Land.
Suspected i would not like this, but was forced to get three cans of it just so i could sample 3 other new IPAs. What a total fucking waste of aluminum this is. Alk level is 6.3% and it’s got 52 IBUs but who f’ing cares? If i wanted a wine cooler, then that’s what i’d’a bought.
Rating: 0.1, because there was once a Belgian beer i tried in the 1980s which was so terrible the memory haunts me still, as i expect the memory of Sam Adams Crapfruit IPA will haunt me well into the 2040s. No really, 30 years later and i still avoid Belgian beers.
From now on, i’ll never buy another Sam Adams beer, and will give bad reviews to the remaining IPAs in that “Rebel Pack”. Have 2 more cans of this and what should i do with them? Sure as hell can’t drink them. What a waste of money. Should i pour them down the sink or give them to someone i hate? Do i even hate anyone that much? Don’t think i do.
Before i buy any other Sam Adams beer ever again in my lifetime, they have to stop selling this Crapfruit IPA. Not only that, but Sam Adams must publicly apologize for making it. Short of this, goodbye forever to Sam Adams. Until then, i hope they go out of business and someone smears a grapefruit on the tombstone.
Fuck you, Sam.
