3 beer survey

[Fletcher21]

Ok so here are the three questions:

What is the best beer you have had?

What is the worst beer you have had? ( preferably excluding the mass produced domestics)

What experimental beer would you like to try?

 

[Fletcher21]

1) Nakasi's Teicerahops

2) my first attempt at a Windermere

3) chocolate strawberry stout

 

[homebrewdad]

1. Chimay Grande Reserve (Blue)

2. Boddington's Pub Ale (though it's tough to not cite those domestics, but you disqualified them).

3. Hmmm... something with cherries, perhaps?

 

[Shaneoco1981]

1) Belle's Hopslam (preferably last year's edition, this year's wasn't nearly as good)

2) Short's Softparade

3) Jalapeno Raspberry Cream Ale

 

[tom9d]

1. Chimay Grand Reserve

2. I've tried a lot of IPAs that I thought were awful.

3. Vanilla white tea pear?

 

[brewski08]

1) Hopslam

2) Mendocino White Hawk

3) Something with pistachio

 

[BodaciousBrew]

1) Full Sail ESB on Nitro

2) Ruthless Rye wasn't my fave

3) Apricot Cream Ale

 

[Trophy_Brew21]

1. Mix beer: 2/3 cold smoke 1/3 blue moon
2. Dogfish Head Palo Santo or Alaskan Smoked Porter
3. Pumpkin Porter brewed inside of pumpkins

 

[Qhrumphf]

1) Tough call between Saison Dupont, Cantillon Iris, Rochefort 10, and Ballast Point Sculpin.

2) Hoegaarden (I've tried it a few times and each time it's been a bad bottle) for non super-macro. But honestly, Steel Reserve.

3) I'd like to try my own open fermented fully wild brew.

 

[rodwha]

1) Blue Star's barley wine
2) Blue Moon
3) unknown

 

[Guden]

1. St. Bernardus abt 12
2. 21st amendment hell or high watermelon
3. Cherrywood smoked kriek

 

[coolharry]

1. New Glarus Alt. Man I wish they'd brew that one again!
2. Besides BMC, I can't remember the name off hand but I know it had smoke in it, and honestly it tasted like a wet camp fire.
3. Catnip Wit

 

[shoggoth]

Perfect easy new-guy topic for a first post!

1) Toss-up between Fantome and Duchess de Bourgogne
2) "Cool Colt" the mint flavored malt liquor; I bought several cases on clearance at the local liquor store when I was in college for $3 each or something. . . what a mistake. To this day I have no idea why I bought 'em - I don't even like mint.
3) Smoked and oaked styles besides Schlenkerla or the typical gigantic beers.

As a longtime lurker, thanks for all the helpful information; nice to meet y'all.

 

[gratus fermentatio]

Ok so here are the three questions:

What is the best beer you have had?

What is the worst beer you have had? ( preferably excluding the mass produced domestics)

What experimental beer would you like to try?

1. Patrizier Edel Dunkel - Patrizier Brau (not made anymore)

2. Very Bad Elf - Ridgeway Brewing (It tasted like lawn clippings, now I know what "grassy" means! :cross:

3. A doppelbock recipe of my own design & brewed by me.
(I can't lager yet, so I've yet to try; which would make it experimental).
Regards, GF.

 

[ArcaneXor]

1.) Cantillon Iris
2.) Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat
3.) Brett Clausenii IPA, Golden Stout, and something fermented with ECY Bug County or Bug Farm.

 

[FreshZ]

1. Hopslam, Gulden Draak, or BR Hop Rod Rye

2. Redhook Long Hammer IPA

3. Schlafly Titanium (1 Magnum batch going for 250+)

 

[downtown3641]

Ommegang Hennepin or Ayinger Celebrator

Shipyard Pumpkinhead

Maybe an English IPA with curry powder.

 

[Bmorebrew]

1) Victory Headwaters, but when it first came out. I swear it's different now. Still good, but not what I remember it being.

2) Sam Adams Triple Bock

3) Homebrewed DIPA with an absurd amount of hops, I'm talking like two pounds for a 5 gallon batch.

 

[divrguy]

I'm a simple guy!

1) SN wet hopped Harvest
2). Moose drool worse ever
3) Alleycat ale clone

 

[CCericola]

1) North Coast Brewing's Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout
2) Some pumpkin ale my neighbor bought for me. It tasted like a watery beer with artifical pumpkin flavor.
3) No idea - I'd like to experiment with a Berliner Weiss.

 

[Farmer_John]

Sam Smith Nut Brown

Kid Rock's Badass Lager...

The "perfect" Witbeer.

 

[pwndabear]

1) Ellicottville Chocolate Cherry Stout, freshly tapped after a long day of brewing

2) Great Lakes Grassroots Ale. Seriously vile and I love GLB

3) The perfect sour saison

 

[Tiredboy]

Hard call as it depends on my mood but looking through my beeradvocate scores:

1) Goose Island Bourbon Country Coffee Stout / American Muscle

2) Secret Stache Stout / Squatters Hop Rising Double IPA. If I can go for what is a domestic for me, Redstripe Light Apple (or Ginger) takes bad beer to a new level (although it is rivalled by any redstripe which has been kept badly which isn't uncommon)

3) Willing to try anything but tempted by Turkish Delight Stout (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/turkish-delight-stout-280612/)

Lagunitas Cappucchino Stout
SA Triple Bock

[BreezyBrew]

1.) Avery Anniversary 17... just saying it gives me goosebumps.

2.) Boulder Beer Single Track... Seriously, wtf is that?

3.) I'd like to see something made or try a beer with truffle oil.

 

[UnrulyGentleman]

1. Westvleteren 12 (yes, it totally lives up to the ridiculous hype)
2. SA Triple Bock
3. The perfect Pliny clone

 

[Harvbar]

1. Delirium Noel, Westvleteren 12
2. Grand Circus IPA
3. something with cherries or raisins

 

[Mase]

1.) Cigar City Jai Alai IPA

2.)Hitachino Nest Red Rice Ale

3.) I'd like to whip up a Maple Bacon Breakfast Stout/Porter

 

[strambo]

Rogue double deadguy

Stone arrogant bastard (I recognize it is good quality just didnt suite at all)

I'd like to brew a Marionberry double/strong ale

 

[msujack]

1: Hopslam or New Glarus Two Sister

[Trophy_Brew21]

i'm a simple guy!

1) sn wet hopped harvest
2). moose drool worse ever
3) alleycat ale clone

-1

 

[DroolingNeoBrewery]

1) Black Bear Ale (the original, before Bear Brewing was bought out) or Hobgoblin (not fancy but I like it)

2) Red Stripe or Molson Micro, both techically macros but they are awful and taste almost the same. I don't think I could tell the difference in a blind taste test.

3) A Framboise or Kriek, hoping to try some real lambics when in Europe this may.

 

[MSamu]

1) Guiness, Babe's Black fin,
2) Oriwan ( Okinowin beer tastes like formaldihide)
3) Coaconut Porter (I want to make one like Maui Brewing companies) Also I have to try sam adams Utopius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ZamaMan]

1) knee deep brewing simtra triple ipa. Amazing is an understatement. Its a locally beer here just started being produced. Makes pliny the younger looked like a neutered pale ale. Offensively hoppy =]

2) dog fish head was a sour from them but its.more that I wasn't into sours.at the time. Other option is shipyards imperial pumkin ale.

3) Russian rivers supplication.

 

[Tiredboy]

2) Oriwan ( Okinowin beer tastes like formaldihide)

bizarre. I have some Okinawan that has a similar taste!
