Sam Adams Whitewater IPA. A wheat ale brewed with apricots & spices. This hazy brew combines the crisp character of a white ale with the intense pine and citrus flavors of an India Pale Ale. We took the unique combination to a new level with the sublet addition of apricots, which provide a slight sweetness to balance the bitterness of the hops. Cheers!

[1] Review by Jabah from Fort Pierce, FL, USA who has tried this beer many times. (5/2/2012 10:02:44 PM)
"Got this a couple times in a variety pack. Liked it enough to want to get an individual 12-pack one day, just never got around to it or had the need. A Belgian-IPA hybrid, with a balance that works quite well. Was a a little afraid at first. Probably has more IPA traits, but the white/Belgian characteristics cuts down the bitterness from the citrus...some fruit too but suttle. Flavor, mouthfeel, overall maybe a little under-rated at 7, but not quite good enough for 8's here."

[2] Review by kinger from North Canton, oHIo, USA who has tried this beer once. (4/8/2012 8:09:55 PM)
"Fairly dry with an abundant hop profile. Stray yellow body, billowing white head and hefty lacing. Peach, apricot, mango and spicy pine overtake the dry crisp wheat. Tasty offering."

""What a refreshing beer! Thing I'll get the case I left at Total Wine. A murky yellow colored beer with a big fluffy textured, white head rising above. There good staying power in this one. Dissapates eventually into a medium sized ringlet and fluffs of film. Floral and gradefruit. In both the nose and on the palate. Medium bodied and creamy. "

[4] Review by HonkeyMoFo from Colorado Springs, CO, USA who has tried this beer once. (2/13/2012 9:01:27 PM)
"It pours a hazy burnt-orange and apricot with a thick and foamy off-white head and copious lacing. An aroma of caramel malts, hops, grapefruit and citrus, pine, apricots, some mango, and spiciness. The mouthfeel is smooth and rather rich. Flavors of caramel/butterscotch malts, hops, grapefruit and citrus, apricot, mango, some bitterness and mild spiciness. It's fair ... smells better than it tastes..."

[5] Review by beerguy101 from Newark, CA, USA who has tried this beer once. (1/28/2012 12:16:39 AM)
"Sampled on 1/27/2012. This IPA pours a slightly cloudy medium orange gold color from a 12oz bottle. Medium to large sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity and sweet, citrusy, piney and floral. A medium bodied India Pale Ale. The malts are fruity and sweet, and there is a touch of apricot and tropical sweetness. The hops are citrusy, floral and grapefruity. A very intense IPA from Sam Adams. Nice balance. Good carbonation. A medium to highly bitter IPA. The bitterness tends to linger. A touch of yeast as well. I really like the dry finish on this beer. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean, dry and crisp. Aftertaste is fairly bitter. "
