maybe not even slowly.
usually i am a malty kinda guy, but just had the terrapin "hopsecutioner" and loved it. now ipa's have had there place on my no list for a while. but it was suggested to me by the bartender (who knows a thing or two about good beer and what i like). so i got it. wow. now if i was going to make this beer i would change it a little, but not as much as i would change most beers. this was as close to perfect for my tastes as i have had in a beer. (not that others haven't been pretty close too). but i wouldn't have even gotten this beer if it wasn't for suggestion. also i recently had the saranac pale ale. for my money this was a really good beer too. saranac is not usually a go to beer for me. they're other offerings have been just ok, for me. but i really liked this beer too (i know its not the hoppiest beer, but i think i showcases more the hops than it does the malt). anyhow i have been really enjoying the hoppy side of things a lot more than i used to. i'll have to say even the red brick whatever bock didn't do much for me today, where as usually that would have been more my style. don't really know where i'm going with this. i guess just a new found appreciation for hops (also i have been loving smelling the hops when i'm brewing and recently dry hopped for the first time)
