Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4305402, member: 1414"] Fight, Fight! I used to be condescending about beer. Then I realized that back when I enjoyed and drank Bud Light at UConn, I should have stopped there. If you like a widely available, cheap, low calorie beer, well that’s a good thing. It’s like enjoying Maxwell House coffee. [USER=34]@Chin Diesel[/USER] can give it another go. I’ve had any number of beers taste off due to what I ate or drank. I don’t know the hops in Counterweight Headway, which by the way, they say is not a New England IPA. It’s fairly clear and they hop quite a bit in the kettle boil. So it’s going to be more bitter than a true NE IPA. I think it evidently has some C hops so might be on the piney/resinous side like Focal Banger. But I’ve not had it as far as I recall. Drinking it after a NE style is going to accentuate the bitterness on the finish, could taste metallic. [/QUOTE]
