Jon-Patrick Thornton reviews Sam Adams Hopscape, a wheat beer with West Coast hops and IPA bitterness, and rates it 8.5/10. He also walks through Untappd, an app for rating beers, finding breweries, and earning badges for your drinking history.
Yo, what's up? March 26, 2017. So I'm back with my second video. I reviewed the Spot-n-Optimator last Saturday. Today I'm going to review the Sam Adams Hopscape. I bought a 6-pack of these from the, the NEX. Which is our Navy Exchange, and they've— they actually have a pretty good supply of microbrews and different various beers and stuff. But I've always wanted to try this one out. Sam Adams isn't big on my list of favorite brew companies, but sometimes they'll release something pretty, you know, pretty quality. And this one is good. This one is very good. It's a wheat beer, but it's also got, you know, got quite a bit of West Coast hops added to it. So it's got a little bit of that bitterness flavor like an IPA with it being light and wheaty-based. But here, we'll go ahead and show you the pour. So there it is, label and beer side by side. Great color. All right, like I said, uh, like I said in the last video, Lydia was gone. Um, now she's back. And I'm very happy to have her back. This week has been great. She's been— she started up with school and, you know, the kids were obviously this whole week, they were, you know, still on spring break time. Cheers. Oh man, that's good. It's a great beer. Um, if you guys are on Untappd, I highly recommend you get the app Untappd. It's amazing. But I gave this a pretty high quality rating on Untappd, but on my 10 scale, I'm definitely gonna have to give it about an 8.5. This is a— Sam Adams put out a great beer. Um, so, um, Yeah, if you definitely don't have Untappd, grab it. It's an amazing app. You can rate beers. It's basically social media for beer snobs. You can rate beers, look beers up, find out where they are nearby, if any bars have them, or if any liquor stores have them, whatever, so be it. And then also, they have news about new beers coming out. Then you can also have a backlog or a catalog of beers that you have and earn badges, like certain badges for certain achievements for like drinking so many lagers or drinking so many amber ales or whatever. Then also for taking pictures, taking pictures of your beer, you can also earn badges for that. Whenever you rate these beers, and you put this content out, it helps others choose the most quality beer for themselves. So, so to a new, to a new week. Cheers to you guys. Thanks for watching. I'll check you out in the next video.
