Sweet Water Brewing Company's IPA

Pours a nice amber, with a decent sized light tan head. Both good, grassy hops and a nice sweet malt. Well balanced and promising so far.

I don;t want to say it's light in the body. It's more that it's more crisp than many IPA's, and it's nice and drinkable. It has a nice bitterness to it that comes out more than the malt, which is surprising based on the smell. Still, if it was weaker in taste I would have hammered it for the lighter than usual feel. But instead, it's an all around nice, even if light, IPA.

Sweet Water Brewing Company's Extra Pale Ale

Pours a slightly hazy light amber with decent carbonation and a decent enough tan head. Nice grassy hops in the smell, with a twangy, sweet malt as well. Almost a bit of citrus--orange, not lemon.

Nice. I've had this one sitting around for a while and was a bit worried about how good it would be. Plus, it's from Georgia. But it's right on type for a pale (I don't know about that "extra" business). Fairly solid bitterness, with a nice body and slight sweetness to round it out.

Sweet Water Brewing Company's Extra Pale Ale

Beer from Georgia? We'll see.

Pours deeper than a standard pale, slightly amber with a light tan head that is thin from the start and only gets thinner.

Very nice smell though. Piney hops that are very solid. It may actually live up to the "extra" billing. As the hops smell dissipates with the head, the sweet malt peeks out a bit.

A bit of a fizzy feel and harsh(ish) aftertaste, but on the front end it has a fairly crisp bitterness and decent enough body.

Not a beer I'll look for too often, but it was a BOTM beer so I'll probably never see it again anyway. I'd keep the others that it came with, but I have about 80 singles that I've never tried before. And that's no shit. So I'll be trying those instead, but this would be good enough if not for the alternatives.

Sweet Water Brewing Company's Georgia Brown

Beer from Georgia? I don't know.

Pours a deep coppery brown. Almost like a murky amber instead of a brown. Nice tan head with moderate carbonation.

Smelled almost like a bourbon barrel aged beer for a second, the head was throwing of a serious alcohol bite. Faded to a vanilla and nutty brown smell, but in a small beer like this there's no reason for such an overpowering alcohol smell.

Watery. Decent enough flavor,, except the bourbon taste is still there. The standard brown tastes are in there somewhere, but it's a bit too hoppy as well.

Weird beer, and fairly off type. Never heard of this brewery, and I won't go looking for it again.
