Re-review of the updated Latitude 48. This first was froma bottle in a sampler pack a year earlier.

A: Big two finger light tan head. Rich amber in color.
S: Hoppier than I remember. Some citrus, grassiness and a little spice from the hops. Sweet carmel malt. Overall a little better than average for me.
T: The taste is more hop forward than the smell. Nice suprize. Citrus, sweet carmel malts and a nice long finishing bitterness.
M: Medium mouthfeel, apropriate carbination.
D: This is by far the best BB offering in my opinion. Nice bitter IPA. ABV @ 6.00 makes this one nice and drinkable.

The was a very pleasent surpize from Boston Beer.

Serving type: on-tap

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

A-pours a golden copper color with white sudsy head with pretty nice retention
S-lots of pine and resin, some subtle malt in the background
T-more pine with some citrus notes in the finish, the malt provides a nice balance but does not lend much to the flavor
M-medium bodied
O-really nice and well balanced IPA. It isn't out of this world but definitely nails the style.
