Underrated seasonals

Off the top of my head:

Deschutes Jubelale
Bell's Best Brown
Troegs Hop Knife & Blizzard of Hops
Yards Cape of Good Hope
Deschutes Red Chair
Great Lakes Rye of the Tiger (retired)
Evolution Sprung (retired)

 

Yea, Bret717 beat me to the punch with Jubelale. Jeebus....my review on that was a little over the top, looking back on it. Still...damn good brew. There is one I'd like to try, though, but, have never seen the brand. St. Peters: Winter ale or Christmas ale, something along those lines. If any of you home brew...that guy from Craig Tube said it was his favorite bottled beer of all time.
I don't know if people would consider Celebration underrated. I mean, it must sell very well, but, with some of the beer geeks, it's passé. I think it's a hell of an IPA. Tumbler, and Vienna Lager were released for the Fall from SN, so I miss those a lot, as well.

 

This is also one of my favorite seasonal brews. FYI- I read it will be returning to bottles in late November.

 

That will be great if they do, I'll stock up.

 

SA summer ale is criminally underrated in Beer Advocate.

Avg 3.37 lol

 

Red chair is so damn good - just plain one of the best all around beers I've had. It's criminal to have it a seasonal. Jubelale is pretty righteous too, like liquid fruitcake sprinkled with hops. Mmmmm . Deschutes does the holidays right. I don't pick up many seasonals, but I grab those for sure.

 

Not that anyone asked, but count me in as one who like that non-BA version better, as I recall (unfortunately didn't review the BA version to compare notes).

Have NN and GBS become underrated recently?? I always seem to find them (correctly) fairly highly touted.

Note: I have to revisit Red Chair after your and a few other posts. I think I had it after being in Portland for a bit and had a wrecked palate, perhaps. Also not a hoppy amber guy, so that may play in.

Agree on this one, always a nice draft pull to sip on after a meal in the fall.

 

Not sure if it's under appreciated but Lagunitas Brown Shugga is one of my favorites.

 

I believe this is returning in 2017, though I haven't seen a release date yet and 2017 is quickly coming to an end.

 

Xocovena

 

@RandyRanderson,
Nope...there will be no Blasphemy in 2017 OR 2018. Weyerbacher was goodly enough to answer my inquiries and confirmed this. However, they were also quick to respond that Blasphemy is simply on hiatus and NOT (at least at this point) permanently retired...I certainly hope that is the case!

 

Sierra Nevada's Coffee Stout
Mother's Winter Grind (on par with SN's Coffee Stout)

 

The BA stuff from great divide is overpriced in bombers, $30 for the BA yeti, old ruffian, and hibernation with the snifter was a decent deal. The base beer is only $11 a six pack, and I drink a ton of it, it also ages incredibly.

 

is xocoveza really considered underrated though? btw - talk about an expensive 6er!

 

Great Lakes Christmas Ale and Lake Erie Monster

 

I added NN and GBS because I think people take them for granted because it's easier to find. A flaw of the beer world. Still great beers. But I hear ya
