Beers that taste the same?

There are a few IIPA's that I've had around here which taste similar, but the main differences between them are intensity of the flavors and feel.

 

Most BA imperial stouts?

 

After 2.

 

I think a lot of Lagunitas beers taste very similar but not identical. IPA, Sucks, Hop Stoopid, Born Yesterday, Sumpin Sumpin all share a lot of similar qualities. I recently decided that Kane Head High and Magnify Vine Shine taste almost identical.

 

The Saranac variety pack.

 

All Sierra Nevada IPAs.

 

Fremont's Summer Ale and Ft. George's Big Guns taste identical to me. And that's a good thing.

 

I hate to say it, but most sours taste the same to me

 

Fort Collins Banshee Red Ale, Ska Pinstripe Red Ale, and Lumberyard Red Ale all tasted identical to me. Thankfully, its a taste that I happen to love.

 

all IPAs basically taste the same

 

Just based off the amount of beers available, and crossover "styles" I think there are many many beers that taste very much alike in the grand scheme of things.

 

I wouldn't claim all IPA's taste the same like @keithmurray, but these days it seems like every brewer's portfolio needs to have a dry-hopped citrusy IPA and/or session IPA and these styles can be very similar from brewer to brewer. I like the style well enough, but they do start to run together in my mind.


Personally, I find many "American Wheats" very interchangeable, and more so in recent years as the more hop-forward wheat beers have shifted into the "wheat IPA" category. It's wheat malt, a clean yeast, and mild hopping... there's not much left to for a brewer to work with to differentiate the beer from another unless they make additions.

 

Have you had Ruthless Rye or Flipside?

 

most of the ones that are are being said taste the same are from the same brewer. so besides different hop combinations they are using the same yeast and malts so that's kinda a given. mainly the yeast are giving similar flavors

 

I did enjoy last years flip side.

 

Yeah i thought it was really good as well, I hope that new IPA in the four way ipa mix pack is good. I think it's called Five hop IPA

 

Every beer I've shotgunned in my life tastes the same...
