Beer of the Week

The beer: Matchplay IPA

The brewery: Smuttynose Brewing Company, Hampton, New Hampshire

Description (from Untappd): "Born on the 19th hole, and made for your next round, Matchplay IPA is a crisp and crushable ale that you’ll never again tee up without. Soft and refreshing, yet packed with bright and bold hops, our newest IPA is a sure gimme on a hot day."

Would I buy it again? The latest entry in my long-running series "Buying beer because there's golf on the can/bottle," this beer is a simple and juicy IPA. Hoppy, but not bitter. Which makes it pleasant to drink instead of a chore. Exactly the sort of beer you'd want on the golf course on a hot summer day. Of course, I don't really drink beer while playing golf, but I'd still buy this beer again.
