    Well, you know what? I think I am mixing up Summit with Simcoe. Onions and BO? I can't say that I've ever experienced that. Maybe I don't run across Summit hops very often.

    It's actually a pretty good beer.

    A lemongrass saison or wild ale seems like it would be really good. Make it around 4% even better. Could even add ginger.

    Enjoy

    Most of the beers I drink are pretty quiet, so it's hard to say.

    It didn't strike me until just now, but the mean age of BA members is showing in this thread since no one has mentioned a certain Young's label...

    It *is* retired, but still...

    Ah, that's some dirty trick you're playing, there, steveh - don't dick around, just tell us!

    There used to be a "secret" live show trading group for Richard Thompson fans called Spotted Dick, after the British dessert. ("Secret" 'cause he didn't approve back in those lower tech days).

    Although "Sponge Pudding" doesn't sound better, does it? Sounds slightly pornographic...

    This era is a mean age for everyone!

    (Oh, wait - wrong definition).

    The can thing is whatever but more important what do the young nieces and nephews think of the beer?

    I knew that googling “spotted dick” was a risky game, but it took me down an educational adventure of traditional English cuisine. I must say, the Brits have some quirky names for the culinary dishes, and I dig it!

    I don’t like that the title was changed to “Worst Sounding Beers.” Imho, it makes it sound like I’m thinking of actual beers, and not one’s own idea of what would be the worst to them.

    The older nieces/nephew (high school / college) avoid gluten, so not into beer. They like seltzer and spirits, but that generation doesn't party / overindulge like my generation.

    For the younger ones via my youngest brother, I gave the oldest a sip of Pliny the Elder and he thought it was "spicy", but was glad to have tried it. The youngest with a sweet tooth liked his sip of a haze bomb from Beer Zombies, had to cut him off before he drank all of it. I am hopeful for their future, and perhaps the gluten free preference will pass once they move out of home (their Father/My Brother drinks beer, and also eats gluten away from home).

    Isn't that physically (medically?) detrimental if you don't have (professionally diagnosed) gluten intolerance?

    Yes, I'll admit I've tried it so no one can say I won't know until I try it.

    No IPA I've ever had in my life has been improved by the addition of fruit.

    Grapefruit, peach, blood orange, hell Lazy Dog has a Melvin contract brewed hazy IPA with huckleberry, none of it.

    Not a single one has made me go "You know what, this beer is great and would be merely mediocre without [insert fruit here]."

    Pastry stouts should come with some type of warning for sugar comas.
