Been a whole week since my last post. Before I dive into my analysis of Westbrook IPA, let's take a look at my predictions and see how I did.
I see Revis shutting down the Seahawks receivers, and forcing Wilson and Lynch to focus solely on a ground attack. I see Collins forcing a fumble, and Revis or Arrington having a pick. I think Brady will throw for 2 TDs, one to Gronk and the other to Edelman, and Blount with a rushing TD. I think Seattle will struggle on offense, and probably only put up 1 TD with a few field goals. Brady will be named MVP, and will go into the record books as the best playoff QB of all time with his 4th Super Bowl victory. Could it happen? Absolutely. Will it? We'll have to watch.
Now let's break it down further
1. I see Revis shutting down the Seahawks receivers, and forcing Wilson and Lynch to focus solely on a ground attack.
Revis did shut down the Seahawks receivers, and held Baldwin to 1 catch for 3 yards. That one catch was a TD, but the ref set a pick thereby shutting Revis out of the play. I will say this piece was correct.
2. I see Collins forcing a fumble, and Revis or Arrington having a pick
Ok 0/3 here. But really did anyone see Butler as the game saver? Collins did lead the way with tackles. Incorrect though.
3. I think Brady will throw for 2 TDs, one to Gronk and the other to Edelman, and Blount with a rushing TD.
He threw 4 TDs, but did have one to Gronk and one to Edelman. No Blount rushing TD. Overall this one was mostly right.
4. I think Seattle will struggle on offense, and probably only put up 1 TD with a few field goals.
Nope
5. Brady will be named MVP, and will go into the record books as the best playoff QB of all time with his 4th Super Bowl victory.
Nailed this one.
Overall some pretty solid predictions right?
On to the review:
Westbrook India Pale Ale. Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. American IPA 6.8% ABV
Served chilled at Upright Brew House from a 12 oz can and poured into a tulip glass. Pours a golden to almost amber color with a frothy white foam head. Smells are of citrus and bitter floral hops. Carbonation is moderate to high with a medium body. Taste is sweet and malty, with a slightly funky aftertaste that is not evident in many IPAs. It is this funk that keeps bringing me back to the Westbrook IPA. Love this stuff.
Short review, I know, but the big takeaway is this is such an easy drinking IPA from a world class brewery. Definitely stock up if you can find it-not the easiest thing in the world to find.
