    This may be it. Every other beer is world class on here and 90& claim it on their bottles.

    I hear "crushable" and think about frat guys shotgunning natty lights

    Amazing, unless of course so many people are really easily amazed.

    Exception: Extreme Beer Fest, because it's actually fucking epic.

    Craft, local, session; all three are horribly misused.

    Balanced, one dimensional, piney, mouthfeel, whalez, hyped, underwhelming, all I'm guilty of.

    Grapefruit is one. If you search the review page on many ipas, grapefruit comes up 10-15 times.

    while we're on it, bready, dank and pithy are a few I feel might not technically be overused but any use is too much

    Session, crushable, overrated, etc. as above.
    Rouge instead of Rogue
    Phrases like "cracked one open", "walez bro", "fell off a cliff", "shadow of its former self", and the like.

    Chris Steltz from Beer Geek Nation uses that word a lot. Perhaps maybe you should ask him. I have no idea what it means either. Haha.
