Pliny is, and perhaps always will be for me, the standard to which all other IPAs are judged (DIPA or otherwise). Compared to say a DFH 90, which is significant in the malt dept, that Zombie Dust was no where close to that. Malts weren't overdone and allowed the quality of the hop to come...

Unibroue Trois Pistoles.. Too sweet. Won't be buying this one again. It's a good beer, just not for me.

Yeah....outside of the West Coast, where all my favorite IPAs are brewed (Cali specifically), this is the best in this category that i've had. Anxious to see where the Nugget Nectar falls in place...and that day will come eventually.

that right there would "get'er done" for me in the buzz dept. That lone DFH 120 I had the other night had me feeling very nice. Give this a try... Dare ya! DFH 120 IPA chug - YouTube

FINALLY........I'm able to say +1 to this! THIS is an excellent beer. Gives Pliny a run for it's money....only a little bit smoother (as opposed to "crisp") on the finish due to the slight malty sweetness that gives it a nice balance. Hops are a bit stickier here as well, giving it a longer...

While my sample size has been limited...i've had a couple Jolly Pumpkin offerings now, and this pretty much sums up my feelings as well. For their high pricepoint and what they were (just ok), I'm gonna pass I think when I come across their stuff in the future.

Damn it Cliff.. That Bruery Saison Rue I'd never looked into before. Til' now that is.......and it sounds good! Sad thing is (or good depending on how you look at it), judging from this pic, I know exactly where to find some...:cjump:

This one is nothing if not unique. About the "booziest" beer I've ever had. At 18%, I guess that makes sense. Bells Hopslam being the most recent candidate for that title, but the 120 takes that designation outright. Lots of caramel, and sweetness w/ this one also...but I get more heat from...

Sorry.... Don't visit the music threads at all...but just took a look now after posting this. Believe this belongs in the What are you listening to thread. Admins feel free to move please.

This is one of those covers that I think is better than the original. Very creative and the voices are just plain awesome...on all of em'. Somebody That I Used to Know - Walk off the Earth (Gotye - Cover) - YouTube

No matter how often I have this one.....I'm always impressed by it. A bad ass beer of the highest order...

Just as good as it was last night when I opened it half-cocked..... I'd easily put it up there w/ the RR Supplication as far as quality goes. Get a lot of sour green apple on this one. The color is definitely deceiving, as it's very light and refreshing. This one definitely lives up to...

Left the taproom...went to El Gaucho Steakhouse.. Had a Vodka tonic.. Followed by a wicked shrimp appetizer, and a Chateaubriand Tenderloin served table side for the main course.. And keeping in theme w/ the beer, had a Hopworks Organic Pale w/ dinner.... Smoked a Por Larranaga Encantos post...

Indeed! Followed that Jolly Pumpkin up with a sampler consisting of: Bear Republic Extra Deluxe Tripel Stillwater/Mikkeler Saison Laughing Dog Alpha Dog IPA Pyramid Helles Smokey Not a huge fan of any of em unfortunately, but ive got a damn nice buzz!!

At a taproom in Portland... 1st up, Jolly Pumpkin Maracaibo Especial. Very nice!

No RASS!? Blasphemy...

That's a rarity Craig... How often does one come across a perfect 10 beer anyway...:headroll:

This has gotta easily be my best beer haul yet......and I didn't even have to leave my house! :hysterica A few of these bottles are from a trade w/ a great BOTL here....and the rest were purchased.

I concur... And if you aren't willing to elaborate on a borrowed opinion...just move on. I hate unoriginal bastards. I've +1'd my fair share of posts, but I try to add to that opinion just to contribute a little something extra and substantiate WHY I agreed w/ something. And I agree with...

Last day of beers for me until next Friday...so i'm gettin' while the gettin' is good.. Green Flash West Coast IPA. This is the beez kneez...and I put it perhaps even a head above the Racer 5. Just a little heavier mouthfeel, and a very nice malt balance on this one...even though it's...
