Earlier this year I reviewed the Widmer Drifter Pale Ale and thought it was out of this world. I liked it so much that I said I would make it my “go to” beer. Well, I didn’t quite make it my “go to” beer but I did buy about 3 more six packs of it since then and had them over the summer.
What a difference a summer can make… I don’t like this beer much at all anymore. I don’t know if I am bored of it, or if my taste buds have dulled that much. It tastes very plain to me now. What I once considered a nice grapefruit bite, is little more than a nip of hops. Perhaps something changed in their distribution, or perhaps I’m biased after drinking it next to beers such as Stone IPA, Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA, & Lake Placid’s UBU Ale.
Whatever… it doesn’t hold up for me anymore; I have to slide the Hop-Talk rating back down to a 2.0.
