    Alesmith X tasted oddly similar to Firestone Pale 31 last time I had it. Not identical, but closer than I remember.

    Hop Hunter is very different from Torpedo and Celebration Ale.

    I'll be that guy: Most BMC AALs/light beers taste the same. :stuck_out_tongue:

    Is would say Obsidian and Black Butte are a little too close for comfort(being from the same brewery)
    Both are excellent beers nonetheless

    I actually like Saranac's variety packs for that reason - there's a familial quality that let's you go from one to another and back without what I call "tongue fatigue." The differences are there, they just don't shoot for the over-the-top effect that so many breweries do.

    Hop hunter I did enjoy also the the hop oil is somthing I'd like to see more of in IPAs for sure.

    I just think they all have a similar base to them. I do t really think they all taste the same I was exaggerating a bit.

    Ruthless is not on the release calendar this year, which is disappointing.

    Flipside is only in the Fall Pack.

    Pretty much.

    What separates one IPA from another are the secondary attributes.

    One of the local breweries here (Thomas Creek) makes and Amber and a Red Ale, had them back to back on draft at the airport, I couldn't tell them apart, other than a little color

    They are "special" http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/style/128/. Hands down my least favorite brewery in the state.

    Great Lakes Christmas Ale and Thirsty Dog - 12 Dogs of Christmas. It's the same beer (or it's a mysteriously amazingly different beer which happens to taste the exact same)

    Rhinegeist - Truth and Rhinegeist - Zen, they taste like the same beer only the Zen is slightly lighter.
