Being housebound I do the majority of my shopping online and my preferred supplier of bottled ales is Asda which is part of the American giant Walmart Group.
As I have it delivered it makes sense to buy in bulk, usually about thirty bottles per purchase and though they have a reasonable range, I tend to go for what I know I like which is well hopped bottle conditioned ales.
Last week however I was going over their list and I spied a newcomer to their offerings...Samuel Adams 'Rebel IPA'. I read a little about it, "citrus hoppy with deep malt aftertaste' and at 6.5% ABV it was right up my street so I took a punt and ordered four bottles for £6.
It was only upon arrival that I realised it was an American beer, brewed I believe in Boston. This really is a belter of a beer and just as described, well hopped with a strong citrus flavour and malty undertones. I will certainly be ordering more of this gorgeous ale. My only misgivings are whereas most of my beers come in 500ml bottles, Rebel IPA comes in 355ml bottles.
Now I can sup on Yankee ale whilst smoking Yankee tobacco when listening to Joe Bonamassa :

Jay.
