Beers that taste the same?

Ruthless will be in the 4-Way mix pack this spring:

I enjoy it too so I hope we don't see it retire any time soon.

 

D'oh. I looked right past it! I wish they were individual sixers though, as I don't usually buy 12 packs of anything.

 

Have you drank Tropical IPA yet. It tastes nothing like any other SN IPA.

 

I wouldn't say "identical" but I was surprised recently how much 3Floyds Zombie Dust and Founder's Double Trouble taste alike.

 

I think Chillwave and Lake Erie Monster taste very similar. Both super yummy though.

 

Lagunitas is probably similar because I've read they use an extremely high mash temp which is also why they're a little sweeter than most IPAs

 

I have tried that. I wasn't a huge fan of it. Last years hoppy lager was better IMO.

 

I just bought the new 4-way ipa mix 12er and its in there, but I'm sure they're still putting out 6ers (i hope)

 

Costco 24 pack. It's like buying 4 sixers!

 

Every lager or pilsner ever made.

 

I would say 95% of Stone and Lagunitas taste exactly the same w at most a slight variation

 

^^
To me, Ruination and Enjoy By are very different. Ruination has a lot more bitterness and much more of a dry finish.

I will say that many of the Stone collaboration IPA's taste very similar. I.e., NxS, Sorry not Sorry

 

Sixer's of Ruthless aren't on the 2016 release schedule. We need to contact @sierranevadabill and resolve this issue. Ruthless is the perfect Fall beer for Midwest hopheads

 

as is Ruthless Rye...they are all similar but without a doubt, different in flavor/taste profiles.

 

So it's just in the 12 pack mixer....damn it

 

Yep...but at $12 a 12pk at wallyworld and $15 everywhere else...that 12 pk is hard to pass up.

3 Ruthless, 3 Torpedo, 3 Hop Hunter and 3 Hop experimental...that is a solid line up for the price?

 

This is interesting. Probably makes sense to someone whos had a lot of sours, but I personally could probably count on one hand all the sours I've had, and they've all be drastically different.

Let me think... Oarsman, Anna, The Wild One... that Berlinner Weisse from the brewery that makes Boat Beer...

 

Coffee Bender == Winter Grind.

Honestly, I'm sipping on Coffee Bender right now. I'm not sure I could tell them apart based on flavor. Winter grind may have a higher rating if it was considered a brown ale like Coffee Bender.

 

I think most beers in a given style taste pretty similar. It's usually just the best and worst that stand out.

 

I'll agree with Lagunitas. Sucks, Undercover Shutdown, Brown Shugga all taste very similar.
