Who Brews America's Best IPA?

I enjoy life's finer things. No wait... I just enjoy life's finest beer. This story starts while I was at a certain state university in Fargo, ND. To make it short, the cold days and colder nights helped in introducing myself to the sweet golden beverage. But, I have to confess, beer drunken in college serves two purposes; easy on the wallet and I will let you guess the second one...

Now, college days behind me my pallet has evolved. So many choices out there, but lucky for me I have fell in love with a certain hoppy cohort... The India Pale Ale. Travel with me on the journey to find the best IPA brewed in our fifty states.

Rogue Dead Guy IPA

Light hop and smooth citrus flavor. This is a good IPA for those who don't like too strong beers and are used to traditional ales or wheat beers. It has a great hops aroma but it doesn't translate to the taste.
Taste: 6
Hops: 2
Bitter: 0
