    Endeavour IS amazing. Homefront, however...

    Also gotta take another chance to plug PUMPKINATOR! Everybody who can should try some PUMPKINATOR this October!

    Some of my personal sleepers:

    Coronado Islander IPA ... lower score than it deserves on BA for what is an excellent IPA. Should at least be in the 90's.

    Speakeasy Double Daddy DIPA ... most BA reviews are of the prior version, not the most recent which changed the hop profile and lowered the ABV.

    Avery The Maharaja DIPA ... Well rated, but I always see it on shelves, which tells me it does not move like it should. So good.

    I agree 100% with this! How have people not been going nuts for Niteshift brews? Especially Jester, a pineapple brett beer? Way under the radar and way underrated brews.

    I had them side by side. Nitro is smoother, but I wouldn't really describe one or the other as better. Somebody might prefer one over the other, but not because it's better or worse - just a matter of personal preference. I also thought that while there was a difference between the two, it was, imo, not significant enough to justify the release of both versions simultaneously.

    Pride and Joy from Three Floyds.

    There is a ton of hyped beers from FFF but this a great beer that gets overlooked imho.

    Most all seasonal Alewerks. Bitter Valentine, Cafe Royale, Bourbon Barrel Porter, Pumpkin, and Rapadou Porter are all awesome. I'm at about 70-75 of the top 250 but Cafe is still my favorite beer in any category.

    Plenty of the horseheads ales are under the radar although they are rated pretty high, including the chemung canal towpath ale and the pale expedition ale. I often wonder why such a big disparity between the sites as far as this brewery is concerned. They can do themselves a favor by dating the bottles which will open up their regular lineup to wary consumers like me who stick only to the seasonals because of that. Their pumpkin ale was stellar this year.

    Block 15 Super Nebula probably sits up there with Brandy Hunahpu as one of the best imperial stouts I've ever tasted.
