Sam Adams Tasman Red IPA

Here we go, IA #3! The name Tasman Red comes from the inclusion of Tasmanian hops as well as the ruby red color. The tastes are somewhat subtle, but I'm catching peaches and apricots, and maybe a little rye bread. The hops are pretty piney, with the expected grapefruit. The bitterness, despite it being an IPA, is somewhat subdued; if the ABV wasn't 8.5%, this could be a serviceable session beer...if you didn't have to drive.
