Today a buddy of mine brought me all 6 versions of Samuel Adams Latitude 48 IPA. Sold as a 12 pack, this set contains 2 of each version of Latitude 48. The original Latitude 48 IPA is an American IPA brewed with five hop varieties composed of Hallertau Mittelfrueh Noble Hops, East Kent Goldings, Ahtanum, Simcoe and Zeus. The other 5 versions are brewed using only one hop variety each as a way to showcase what the individual hop contributes to the beer as a whole. It's a fun experiment and a great way to get familiar with individual hop varieties. As someone who loves IPA, I am really looking forward to these, even if just to see if the original is better than the sum of its parts.
