     This beer is wayyyy better than the area it's named after. Super light-bodied IPA with a ton of citrus flavor. Really incredible beer. I'm not sure you can get Backlash outside of the Boston area (yet - 12/2017), but I'm sure you will soon enough.

     This is a perfect mix of a Belgian Witbier and an IPA. It hits you up front with the orange and coriander flavors that you expect from a wit, then backs it up with a citrusy hop finish. Plus the label is awesome. The only thing keeping this from attaining legendary status is the price (I paid $9 for a 22oz bottle).

     This is a great beer. It is light and refreshing. I thought it tasted quite a bit like a witbier, and apparently I was right, as it is brewed with coriander, which really gives it a lot of flavor that you would get from a white. That, plus its high alcohol, make it worth buying, even at the slightly higher cost.

     Good IPA. Hoppy going down, but a little too bitter for me to really enjoy the finish.
