So that is a lighter bodied beer, Dave?

I am so uneducated. :r

It's a seasonal beer. I've been wanting to try this for a long time and found a 4pack today. It's a bit bitter/hoppy with some citrus notes. It's a great beer but I still enjoy some of the Ale Asylum IPA's better (satisfaction jackson double ipa and ballistic).

I wanted to try Founders Double Trouble since I've liked everything I've had from Founders. Double Trouble is good, but IMO Bell's HopSlam is better. I'd say that Double Trouble is more of a "western" DIPA, as it's more bitter. HopSlam has the hoppy bitterness, but it's balanced by the sweetness from the honey. Different strokes for different folks, but I like the HopSlam better.

Just picked up a bottle of Sierra Nevada Chico Estate Ale, wondering if anyone has had this and what they thought of it.

I've fallen back in love with 90 minute. I never stopped liking it, but we were taking each other for granted. No more!

Last night had:
Boston Ale
Glissade
Troeg's Nugget Nectar
90 Minute
Expedition Stout
HopSlam

No headache this morning either!

How is this? I saw it today for the first time down here (at Whole Foods Market,) but was $12+/six pack. :eek: Pricey for a hophead, even if it does have 5 different hop varieties!

It's good. Slightly unbalanced (but what hop head doesn't like that?).

I prefer 90 minute which is roughly the same price per bottle.

Bubba, if you're a Belgian whore now, you can increase your prices 50% from being just an ordinary New Jersey whore. :r

In the past couple of weeks I have been enjoying Leffe Blond Beer from Belgium. Really nice beer.
