    Have you had it since the first couple batches? There really aren't floaties anymore.

    I never got the hate for HT appearance. I like a good cloudy beer. Those are flavor particles.

    I drink my Pliny as fast as I can snatch it and I snatch pretty fast.

    They view beer as a "team" they root for. Like Ford v Chevy, football teams etc. It's idiotic. Like YEAH MAN BooYAH PLINY LOST TO HEADY HAHAHAHA I RULE!!!

    I think that's a definite minority compared to the people who feel like the results of the ranking are "wrong" because... well... MY BEER IS BETTER THAN YOURS!!!!

    I would have no allegence towards heady if it was an inferior IIPA to PtE. But it isnt, so I do. Anyone want to send me something to convince me otherwise Id appreciate it! Only thing I havent had is Alpine, and thats on the way in the near future.

    How can someone "convince" you that something tastes better TO YOU? Even better - why would they?

    When they made a switch a long while ago to the had scoring system I realize a huge number of my reviews had turned into 5s. It must have been due to some rounding or conversion error. I didn't notice until I was checking a beer and noticed I had given it a 5, but in reality knew there was no way in hell that happened. I checked all my hads and noticed a shit ton were like that, I went back and edited them as best I could.

    What I meant was that even though Pliny is in high demand and gets sold and drank fast, it doesn't turn over as fast as Heady, which I imagine usually gets drank within days of purchase.

    The boys at Alchemist must be devastated by all this negative publicity. Quick, everyone run out and buy more HT to see for yourself if it deserves to be #1!
