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.
