    To be fair I like most DFH offerings. Ta Hanket is one I definitely like the least. Chicory Stout, Punkin, and Rhizing Bines are meh but still solid beers. I agree Festina Peche has fallen off in the last few years but I really liked Shelter, 61, and the rest that I've tried.

    Personally I didn't really care for Stone RuinTen. It is the only beer I have ever had that I felt the hops were overpowering.

    I actually really enjoy DFH...a lot. Just so happens they make a crappy beer every once in a while (see: Black & Red).

    Lake Erie Monster from Great Lakes. I love Great Lakes beers but this one was not a keeper.

    Founders: Love Breakfast Stout, didn't like All-Day IPA.
    Ska: Not a big fan of Modus Hopperandi.

    I tried some this past weekend, it was okay for 1 but after 2 was enough. It's like a... diet IPA or something.

    southern Tier Creme Brulee stout...just wayy to sugary, had it at work in a 9oz snifter and honestly a 5oz pour is too much

    Yeah- I bought a 6 pack and didn't like it. After seeing all the reviews, I thought maybe it was me. My sister picked up some a couple weeks ago and I had it again. No, it pretty much sucks.

    IMHO, there's much better low alc hoppy Ipa's/ pales. Yards Hilly Pale, Victory Headwaters & 21st Amend Bitter American come to mind.

    I served it to my fiancee, who has significant exposure to beer through me, and two of her co-workers who both have significant exposure to beer through me and also homebrew. All three of them liked it. I was also recommended this beer by a former employee of The Goat in LA, who is now a beer purchaser on the east coast, who's palate I respect. Now would I consider that many people, no, but I didn't say many I said multiple. And I would consider that multiple people with 100% of them liking it. I would have no qualms about serving it at one of my larger beer tastings nor would I have qualms about pairing it with non-indian cuisine.
