Tried my first Mr. Beer seasonal flavor on Monday. This is the White IPA. While it had good carbonation, it didn't have much of a head at all, and it disappeared quickly. The aroma was nice, with a spicy note that neither my wife nor I could identify. It tasted very good and went down easily, with a peppery note on the swallow. Very little hop bitterness noted, which is surprising for an IPA, but consistent with feedback from other brewers which have made this seasonal flavor. While I don't yet have a hydrometer, I can tell the ABV was up in the 6% range as I sure could feel it after only one 12 ounce bottle. Over all a very good beer, but one that shouldn't be considered an IPA.
