Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
From the tasting I think that the 15 compared to 16 is as expected, the boozy bite has mellowed a little but still present, with both having a similar overall taste. Can't speak to the bottle comparison since all of mine from last year were recalled, but I'd love to hear an opinion from one of the good bottles
|
Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
My bottles weren't on the recall list last year (at least I didn't find them). I'll do a little taste test ASAP.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
Took a trip to Stowe, VT this weekend. Stopped at The Alchemist and got my and my wife's limit of Heady Topper and Crusher (total of 8 four packs of each). That should hold me over for a little while.

Seems like a lot of hype to me. There are a ton of very good to excellent IPAs out there. Can't imagine what makes this one so much better than the rest. |
Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
Drank about 2/3 of a growler full of KBS on Friday, with the help of some friends. If I get a chance I'll post up a review of this growler top I used that lets you re-carbonate what's inside it using co2 cartridges, very cool little contraption.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
I really enjoyed the Heady Topper sample I had at the brewery and, based on that, I found that it was/is better than most IPAs I've had from NY. Given that, I'm willing to try any IPAs that anyone wants to send me!
Also, I can't get Heady Topper in NY and really wanted to give it a try. |

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
Peter I agree there are a lot of excellent IPA's out there, Heady Topper is in the upper echelon of beers but nothing worth selling a kidney for. Ive never head any of your Californian Russian River beers but I'm sure it's just like the "Pliny's"

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
Fantasyland IPA from Urban Chestnut Brewing Co. Delicious.
|
Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
Cracked a Founders Lizard of Koz tonight.
Very rich stout, great nose, good lacing...but the blueberries are a bit overwhelming at this point. Almost like a "sour stout". I'm going to put some away til summer, think it may be really good after the blueberries fade a bit. |
Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
Just finished the first bottle of my latest batch of home brew - a vanilla bourbon imperial Porter. It's about 9% abv. I'm going to call it Bad Santa's Deplorable Ale.

I could drink only heady for a very long time without getting sick of it. That said I like Focal Banger even a little better... |
Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
Funny, I didn't care for Focal Banger. I liked Heady and Crusher much better.

Last night had some Boulevard Collaboration No. 6 and Wicked Weed Milk & Cookies, both very tasty but I preferred the Milk & Cookies, a little on the sweet side but balanced with some cinnamon and (I think) oats. |
