Amanda and Jeremy's Beer Review: Starr Hill Northern Lights IPA
Northern Lights is an extra special india pale ale from Starr Hill brewery in Charlottesville, VA. My first impression, not my favorite too bitter for me. I enjoy a few IPAs but this won't be at the top of my list. Jeremy's first impression: He liked it a bit more than I did. It has a slight floral aroma, amber color and a hoppy bitterness lingers a little too long for our taste. If you like IPAs give this one a try. Ratebeer.com has rated Northern Lights at an 84% and 3.5 stars.
