    Summer Love comes to mind right away. And maybe Stoudt's Revel Red...
    And Fantome Hiver is one of my handful of all time favorites, especially this most recent release.

    There are several beers that either differ from batch to batch (which is a knock on the brewery, not the beer) and some whose recipe has changed. In most cases that results in underrating. In a few, the newer versions suck. But there really should be a way to decompress the ratings into before/after.

    I looked at my own ratings and the "hads" are kind of rough, but, in general, all my high + above average are all already in the low 90s (the lowest is 88 right now), so hardly "underrated". I just happen to value them more than they average out to be. And with "hads", you really don't have a choice--unless the average is right at the quarter point, you'll always be over or under by substantial amount (for frequently reviewed beers, at least).

    But seriously the original Sea Hag recipe has less hops than the current recipe. How much it may affect your current enjoyment of said beer is up to you.

    For me it's arctic panzer wolf from FFF. So far my favorite IIPA. It might be a little unbalanced for most people but that's why I love it. Such a hop bomb.

    Anything Alpine seems to be somewhat held for ransom. There seems to be a lot of "I can't even get it and I live in SD!!!!"
    I bet it's awesome though. :slight_smile:
