    Thank whatever god you worship that the brewers of non-flavored porters just find something that works and stick with it.

    Alaskan Amber, Modelo Negra, and Jai Alai all are consistently good to me and taste the same over the years I have enjoyed them. Budweiser, Miller Lite, and Heineken are all consistently bad tasting to me over the years.

    Harveys Best Bitter. Like beer tasted in the 1970s.

    My marker beer for my palate.

    I think this has been discussed before but I do not remember if the discussion finished with a definitive answer. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Draught is a lower ABV version of SNPA and at least to my palate (it's been years since I've had one) a distinctive and tasty brew.

    . I had SNPA for the 1st time in the early 1980’s. It was great than and still is. It is my desert island beer.

    Right, the difference is pretty significant. I prefer the bottle, but I'd love to try the draught version on cask.
    Zid covered it pretty well in this thread: https://www.beeradvocate.com/commun...-ale-bottles-vs-cans-vs-draught-style.659756/

    Sixpoint Resin has got it and it's been a few months now since I have seen it on any shelves or coolers. It's not the only one either. Lunch, King Sue, Psuedo Sue, etc have not been replaced. Texas IPAs are okay and all but it's really nice to get some of those back. Especially the Resin.
