A MN Outstate IPA Shootout Blind Taster

Guessing this is a blind taste test that has never been done before.

Judges: Zap, My Brother (4,600 combined reviews over the past 15 years)

Beers:
Bemidji Summer IPA
Forager Shag Session
Forager Swayze Express
Disgruntled Stupid Good

Format:
We poured each others beers and kept a key. We then ranked 1-4 and put a score on each beer.

Results:
(*As we were drinking and rating these we both noted numerous times that these were all some great beers and definitely all were 4.0 or better type beers.)

1. Disgruntled Stupid Good (Avg score=4.55). I had it ranked #1, my brother had it #2. It's a veritable fruit cocktail. Great aroma and flavors of citrus. Oranges, Peaches, Pears, Pineapples.

2. Forager Swayze Express (Avg score=4.35). My brother loved this and had it #1. I found it a quality IPA but too catty for my tastes and had it rated #4 but still solid(4.0 score from me).

3(tie). Forager Shag Session (Avg score=4.2). We slipped in a session IPA and were able to identify it pretty easily. We scored it as just an IPA. As a session IPA it would have been 4.5+ we both agreed. Nice fruity aroma, with toasty malts and citrus. We both ranked it third.

3(tie) Bemidji Summer IPA (Avg score=4.2). I ranked it #2 and my brother had it #4. Clean citrus and pine with a light malt backing.
