Mmm, honey beeeeeer. :D
 
^^ Oh dear god I LOVE Beez Neez!!!!!! <3
My partner doesn't like it though so I never get to indulge.

That's it. I'm stopping on the way home and getting a couple of bottles just for me =D

Thanks for that COTB! :D
 
Flying Dog, in terms of taste and all that.

For getting fuzzy, it Newcastle or one of the various forms of cheap, malt liquor. Usually presented in 40 oz servings.


If I'm even drinking. I'd rather use cleaner drugs.
 
Beer Snobs Unite!

If this thread is more appropriate in OD or of the like, my apologizes for the inconvenience.

I personally am in love with imports (gives me kick, multi-dimensional flavors and so much more).

Samichlaus is my winner-- reddish-brown color with a sweet malty aroma and taste that reminds me of a creamy spiced pastry.

Creamy, smooth and warm. Very light kick of hops for balance, I like to think of it as the delicious wine of beers for its 14 percent alcohol content.


Its beautiful:

Whats your dish to relishing within the world of beers?
 
Hey RedLetter, do you mind sharing how you interpret the flavor/constitution of the beer?

For those of us not completely familiar with names or terms.

Thanks man!
 
The flavor is deep and impressioning at first, but without much of an aftertaste or anything at all. Tastes strong, goes down easy. I'd classify it as slightly nutty, if anything. This is all coming from memory, as I sadly do not have one by my side :(

Light on hops as well. Poured well, kind of reminded me of the ales I had while in the UK. Only a stronger %, so =D

(And I typically don't like IPAs)

I am not a beer snob enough to be able to really use fancy lingo, though. I just suggest good titles and do my best!
 
RedLeader are you referring to the 60 Minute or the 90 Minute IPA? I'm guessing the 60 since you described it as being light on hops.

I'm a bit of a hop head (my favorites are West Coast-style IPAs but lately I've enjoyed some stouts and porters) and so prefer the 90 Minute--whenever I have a 60 Minute I just end up wishing it'd been the 90 instead. :p I do like the unique "nutty" flavor that both of them have.

I'd say my favorite is Stone Brewery's Ruination IPA. I can taste a lot of different hop flavors but on the whole it's surprisingly smooth and balanced for that, with some interesting maltiness going on. It's also quite fruity which I love, not to mention the ~7%abv. Go big or go home, I say.
 
as strange as it is, females who can enjoy a good microbrew get +10 sexy points in my book...

here are my top 50:

oh, and the bonus money-shot:

as you can see, I like the strong stuff. I've tried probably 300 beers at the age of 23. I guess this is a pretty good pace. My location (north east USA) limits my selection somewhat... I'd like to be able to get my hands on more west coast stuff. also my low bank roll limits what I can and cannot buy.
 
im in san diego and im a big fan of some of the local breweries out here, Lost Abbey/ port brewing and ale smith are my favs. im glad to see a thread regarding microbrews on bluelight!
 
I find Victory brewing company out of Downington, PA to have some excellent microbrews.
I personally enjoy there Golden Monkey Tripel Ale or Storm King Stout.
I'm not sure on how many I've actually tried, but since I started counting a year or two ago, I have 150 plus in my spreadsheet last I looked.
Somewhat of a hobby I guess, though I haven't indulged it much recently.
 
Storm King is excellent.

Golden Monkey is a good value, and a pretty good American trippel, but not on par with true Belgians. I think it is too sweet and not carbonated enough...
