So you are a snitch?

Haha, whoops. Editing your posts too many times will lead to those mistakes. Lesson learned.

Soon-to-open local brewery posted this picture of four hazy IPAs they intend to offer as samples at another local brewery over the weekend. This is the picture they used to get people excited about their beers. Is this really appealing?

This is what I normally dump out of the bottom of my fermentation vessels at home. My favorite part is that they are in order from complete gravy to the leftover water from steaming broccoli.

The good hazy IPAs don't look like that at all.

That's my thought. I've had hazy IPAs I liked but they don't look like...that.

Sometimes it can depend on the lighting, but the one on the far left is objectively gross-looking and probably disgusting.

The other three are all in the range of acceptable, although they all have a slightly lifeless and dull appearance to them. The one second-from-left is pushing it. I'd drink a beer that looked like that from say Trillium, where I new it was at intended, but for some new local brewery with no pedigree I'd expect it looks that way because of suspended yeast and other flaws.

That was too easy.

I kept waiting for an image to load, then scrolled down.

Well played sir, well played indeed.

Not to distract from Beerontwowheels' quality takedown of me, but expanding on this point for a moment:

The good hazy IPAs don't look like that at all.

For comparison, here's a couple of photos of some of the good ones, taken under fairly neutral lighting and with no filter or anything on the photos:

Wow

This is pretty great.

Would buy.

Photographic evidence is beyond reproach.

Has anyone ever made a good chili beer?
I just got back from a chili festival and, as you'd expect, all the beer was pretty spicy.
That **** does nót work

 

[reverseapachemaster1]

I like some of the mole stouts. They usually aren't very spicy.

A local brewery releases a ghost pepper version of its brown ale that is a little spicy but very tasty. They use like one ghost pepper per keg but you can taste it and slightly feel it.

I like some of the hatch chile beers. They shouldn't be spicy.

Unfortunately a lot of breweries just go for heat over flavor.

Just did bottle inventory after telling everyone I've been buying less and drinking more recently to drink down the cellar.

Inventory went UP to 257 bottles...

My Blueberry Nightmare is weird as hell and it took me a whole bottle to decide whether I quite liked it or really disliked it because the flavor interplay was so damn unusual, but I ultimately found it quite enjoyable.

Abraxas is pretty good. If you mean actually spicy then Mango Habanero Jai Alai is GOAT. Tastes like Mexican candy.

Abraxas isn't really a chili beer though is it? Didn't get any heat from that

Well Abraxas does have chili peppers but I assumed you meant actually spicy beers, that's why I clarified with my second choice.

That beer tasted like BBQ sauce, and I somehow found that enjoyable.

Eh good point. Abraxas was disappointing but not bad. I had a seriously hot quad and a kind of hot wit today that were just terrible
