The wife's aunt brought it back from the brewery a couple weeks ago. I got to say tho after the forth glass this is pretty tasty and it helped with cleaning the carpets tonight so it's mediocre not horrible but not bad either
 
Great Lakes-Rye of the tiger. Seems a little sub-par for them as I think they are a pretty awesome brewery myself and have better they offer but could be changing my mind here. Its probably only the aroma lacking although I thought this was current/seasonal beer.Its still a nice ipa/price also. I think its still killing a Left Coast IIpa hopjuice I had earlier.Would drink this over that anyday. The bigger better thing sometimes backfires. And my conclusion(opinion) is that great lakes ipa kills a double ipa. I got issues with trying double ipas though,but whatever.

Really? I thought zombie dust was pretty good.

To be fair it is a "pale ale" and I'm on a ipa/iipa kick a la heady, lunch, sucks, Pliny.

Also "cloned" zombie dust for my wedding and preferred it to the original. I guess dark lord will have to wow me...
 
HB IPA a bit overcarbed, sure makes the aroma pop:cross:

I admit it. I've over carbed APA's & IPA's on purpose so I can enjoy the aroma a little more. and the sharpness of the carbonation seems to play nice with the bittering. I'll tell you, but no one else: I'm gonna do it again.

Carefull dude. Ive done it plenty enough time to make beers suck accidently. Oxidized and stuff.. You can start getting a belgiany/sharp flavor to them then they may seem to just dry out sometimes good/ok and maybe not. This is only if you age them and dont finish them in a timely matter otherwise it works out ok. Ageoing an oxidized/overcarbed beer doesnt work out. Drinking sooner is key.

PA's & IPA's never last long enough to age in my house. :rockin:
 
Too tired to mess with a pic right now. Got a terrible night's sleep last night and got up at 0530. Anyway, I'm having my Back to Basics American IPA. It's a little overcarbed, but otherwise I think it's about in it's prime right now.

Lol, your secret is safe with me. I guess sometimes it's good to suck at math:mug:

Looks awesomer than water,will be checking that one out. I still have a few tasmanian ipas left that are still tasteing great. Love that beer,never had the ipa.

Yes sir! Schlafly has a Black IPA and English IPA at the tap room that are both incredible. Hell, AIPA and TIPA are amazing as well. They do a great job with their beers. I think I'm going to visit there tomorrow for a can glass :D

I'm interested about those beauties in the background. That's the backstage series?

Yeah, backstage series. Haha, I'm quite interested in it as well. An odd combination in my opinion but we shall see how it is.
 
Raging Hop Monster DIPA. Of my NHC beers I think this is my least favorite, which is disappointing to me since I am such a hop head. My problem with it mostly in the aroma. It's pretty much all fruity and no classic American hop character. That's what I get for using a hop I've never used before (Calypso).

Not to shabby. Heavy on the coffee side though!

Wake-n-Bake is one of my favorites. Definitely heavy on the coffee, I have a 4 pack in my closet (Florida cellar), I look forward to its release every year.
 
HB Saison, I should be finishing my dry stout so I can ramp up the pressure. Should be a good weekend:D
