I'm generally not a fan of hop bombs, but whatever... To each their own I guess! I do love Stone Sublimely Self Righteous, I can't get enough of that stuff. I prefer beer that's a little more subtle, ESBs and Sierra Nevada have a nice level of bitterness for knocking back a six pack, but for session drinking I usually won't even go that hoppy.
I don't get it. I like a good IPA, but these over the top, hopbomb, I can cram more hops in a beer than you can, offerings are not my cup of tea.
I'm learning that somewhere between an IPA and a Double Super Hops Up Your ass IPA is where I get off the train.
Sometimes I don't see it coming, and that is even more annoying. I drank a 2011 Big foot Barleywine. I know Sierra Nevada loves the hops, but this thing was nearly undrinkable.
Thank you West Coast, for taking a good thing, and taking it too damn far.
