edit- different tastes now...

^ Wow that 90 minute must have had some serious bottle variation. That's my go to bottle and is rated in Ratebeer and Beer Advocate 100 and A respectively. Do you particularly care for Imperial style IPA's?

 

[Pegasus]

^Sorry, I didn't see your post and was sitting there updating the post. I don't know... This Doghead fish 90 min IPA was not bad, but the aftertaste was just more than I can say is enjoyable. I will probably give away the rest of the ones I have to beer moochers (won't they be surprised at the 9% ABV?! (I'll tell them) ) and stock up on a 4 pack of 6-pack Sierra Nevada Torpedo bottles (32 pack ) and maybe a 2-6 packs of Tucher Helles Hefe Weizen and Harpoon IPA. They'll find good use.

Oskar Blues Brewery: Gubna

such a great tasting beer. It has a nice citrusy aftertaste and a high ABV.

i love this stuff, i just wish it wasnt so damn expensive.

Oskar Blues happens to be my favorite local brewer, everything they produce is awesome. If you ever get the chance, check out the Longmont resturant/pub.

I can see not being a fan of 90 minute, but Harpoon and Torpedo are just...not that great. Sorry, but these are pretty much bottom of the barrel IPAs, for me.

Last night I drank the the Port Brewing High Tide Fresh Hop IPA I've had in my fridge for a couple weeks. Not too bad, the fresh hops give it a much more "grassy" taste than your average CA IPA. I've been trying to sample wet hopped beers, but they are generally only available in the fall and the flavors don't hold up in the bottle for very long.

Last week I enjoyed a couple Two Brothers Heavier Handed Oak Aged IPA on draft. REALLY tasty and interesting as far as the style goes. Aging it in Oak barrels cuts the bitterness down to almost nothing and you get all the citrus up front with a smooth, creamy finish. I would drink the hell out of this beer given the opportunity.

Found a real gem at the bottle shop the other day:

Mountain Goat organic steam ale, brewed in Richmond Victoria (Aus)

I loved it!! Delicious

Highland Brewing Mocha Stout

Such a good beer for a cold winter night

 

[undead]

^ That looks fucking delicious!

I'm currently drinking a vanilla porter from the Breckinridge Brewery.

It's good, worth getting again, but I guess I thought it would taste a little darker.

I prefer my Great Lakes, Edmund Fitzgerald porter FAR AND ABOVE all other beers. It's to die for!

Cool! I wonder if they use a similar process to Anchor Steam here in the States. BTW, if any ever finds themselves in San Francisco, make a point to try and do the Anchor tour. It's free, really cool and you get a ton of free beer at the end of the tour. It books up months in advance, so keep that in mind.

Currently drinking a Great Lakes Christmas Ale.

I don't have time right now to look in to it, but I imagine the process would be very similar, if not the same!

i picked up some bottles of stone cali-belgique IPA. i really like the combination of belgian yeast and west coast IPA.

 

[Amostheman]

anyone else think Lagunitas IPA tastes like a not-so-sweet grapefruit juice?
