Wife picked up a Sam Adams Sampler. Boston Lager is still a nice taste.

I won't necessarily say enjoying, but I'm having Magic Hat #9 seasonal Summer "Wacko"

It barely has any flavor!

I think I saw 4 different brews. I'll check when I get home tonight.

I'm not a big Magic Hat fan.

I think their Circus-Boy Hefeweizen is pretty good, but then again I think all Hefeweizens are pretty good!

BTW, the Wacko had a red tint to it like rasperry ginger-ale...

Espresso Oak Aged Yeti from Great Divide. But I didnt enjoy it. Too bitter. Like burnt chocolate. I prefer the regular Oak Aged Yeti!

Had a Rouge Dead Guy and a Sam Smith Oatmeal Stout during dinner. My two current favorites.

Cracked open a "Hop Stoopid Ale" tonight, an Imperial IPA by Lagunitas in Petaluma, CA:

Lagunitas makes some good beer (IPA, Maximus,) and some crap (Brown Shugga.) This one was crap. As the label says, this was a heavily hopped IPA: 102 IBUs! Those are International Bittering Units, a measure of the bitterness of a beer derived from the hops. For comparison purposes, a pale ale runs 20-50 IBU and an IPA at around 60 or less.

I thought this one was very thin, not well balanced by the malt. Check out the color in my photo--much paler than I expected. Watery, overwhelmingly hoppy just for the sake of hops--and I'm a hophead ho. Pineapple aroma & very citrusy flavor. The aftertaste left me with an unpleasant phlegmy sensation.

At 100 IBUs, Stone Ruination is 100x better.

I also have a Lagunitas Belgian Tripel waiting to be opened: We're Only in it for the Money. Based on tonight's disappointment I'm not sure if I want to try this one, or let it sit for a few years. The reviews on BeerAdvocate rate Hop Stoopid very high (A-)--not sure why, I didn't find it that good.

You just saved me some money. I was going to pick that up this weekend.

Green Lantern · 04-25-2009, 09:26 AM

Tried the Sam Adams Summer Ale for the first time. It was nice and refreshing seem to have a nice citrus bite to it. Lately I have been enjoying the Unibroue Maudite and La Fin du Monde lately.

Heatmiser · 04-25-2009, 02:56 PM

Last night was an IPA evening. I had the following and rank them in this order:

1) Lagunitas IPA
2) Anderson Hop Ottin' IPA
3) Alesmith IPA
4) Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA
5) Deschutes Inversion IPA
6) Alaskan IPA
