My review: Racer 5 is one of the first IPA I had and a big reason why I like IPA so much and fired up my interest in craft brew beers. The Racer 5 is a great IPA, very balanced. It's hoppy and has a little spice and slight bitterness that lingers after sipping. There's also a sort of grassy and earthy note that I pick up on the more I drink. It's mild and really adds another layer to the IPA. All that different combo still makes this a very easy IPA to drink. Definitely one of my favorite IPAs.
