Top 5 Beers thread

I have to update mine, because of Modern Times Phalanx arriving on the scene. It is hands down my favorite beer of all time. I bumped Lagunitas Sucks off the list because it's been 8 months now since I've had one, and Phalanx displaces it as my favorite slightly-sweet highly-fruity IPA. IF YOU SEE PHALANX ON THE SHELF, BUY IT. It won't last. It is too amazing to last. It is in bottles rather than Modern Times' usual cans. Be on the lookout for it, seriously. You won't disagree with me, I promise.

1. Modern Times Phalanx IPA
2. Firestone - Double Jack / Ballast Point - Sculpin (I will buy Double Jack every time, though, because Sculpin is a rip-off)
3. Hangar 24 - Essence (seasonal)
4. Russian River - Consecration / Bruery - Oude Tart (tie)
5. Logsdon Farmhouse Ales - Seizoen Bretta

What does Utopias taste like? Is it all booze? I've never heard it being good just expensive.

Its probably the most complex beer I've had. The tasting notes we took on it were so long. We even picked out numerous aromas from the empty glass.
