    Pliny for sure, lived up to and even surpassed my expectations.
    Zhukov, if it doesn't have hype it deserves it.
    Rochefort 10 is astoundingly good as well.
    Good Gourd really blew me away too, not sure if this is hyped at all.
    Stones 10th anniversary Ruination was amazing...

    A friend brought Heady and Double Sunshine back from Vermont. Both were worth the hype and then some.

    I think most beers that we all rave about are great.
    The Abyss
    Parabalo
    Sucaba
    Pliny the Younger

    The list goes on and on. This community knows beer!

    Agree with everything posted so far as for the beers I've had (including Hopslam being not quite worth the hype).

    BCBS, Citra, Fou Foune, Younger, and Beatification all exceeded my expectations. The only can I've had of Heady Topper was pretty dull, but I think it was just old and improperly stored.
