    I thought this thread was more interesting when people listed actual beers introduced or at made a yearly return in 2015.

    Modern Times Aurora, a fantastic red rye IPA

    Over =
    MO, good but nothing great for my taste
    Stone Pale 2.0, should've left it alone or discontinued it

    I got mine from the Rare Beer Club so I cannot tell you how it is holding up but I thought it was amazing. Being barrel aged I would guess that it would hold up well though.

    I know I'm late but you're spot on with Tower Station IPA being super underrated. Such a pleasant IPA. Sadly, despite being a local in AZ I can't find a batch of this beer that isn't 3 months old.

    If you thought Black Xantus was overrated, you haven't been here on BA long enough.

    Underrated- Three Floyds Cimmerian Sabertooth Berzerker. Can hang with any Three Floyds hoppy beer. One of their best IMO.

    Overrated- most Ballast Point stuff, especially given the price.

    I don't like to call beers "over-rated", but I definitely consider the following beers that I had in 2015 to be under-rated:
    Bourbon Barrel Brick Kiln Barleywine (Jackie O's)
    Double Platinum IIPA (Star Hill)
    Insurrection IIPA (Rivertown)
