Best and worst new beer you've tried so far in 2015?

As someone just getting craft beer this year,
Best so far: Darkness, Jai Alai, Grapefruit Sculpin, Cacoa bender, easy jack, victory at sea, spotted puffer and zombie dust

Worst: haberno sculpin, devilish hell, dfh 61 (what the hell is that stuff )

 

Best: CCB Brandy Barrel Marshal Zhukov's. Runner up: Fremont Cinnamon b-bomb
Worst: Stone Stochasity Hifi Lofi

 

Best- Straub Pilsner
Worst- New Planet Gluten Free Belgian Ale

Gluten is an important ingredient in beer!

 

Best
Allagash - Coolship Resurgam
Widmer - Old Embalmer '13 with X-431 Hops

Worst
Southern Tier - Crème Brulee
Hardywood - Bourbon Barrel Raspberry Stout w/ Vanilla Beans

 

Best - Ballast Point's Grapefruit Sculpin, Victory's DirtWolf, Great Lakes Chillwave
Worst - Dogfish Head's Namaste

 

Caveats:

• Slow start to this year, so there's not a lot that is new to me yet this year.
• I don't stand in line or trade, so my choices are a bit pedestrian compared to most of you.
• I haven't tried anything truly awful yet, just disappointing, so my "worst" are not as bad as "worst" might imply.
• I also did not include any of the one-time special release beers

Best
Summit Hopvale Organic Ale
Alaskan Smoked Porter 2014

Worst
2015 Surly Bitter Brewer
Brau Brothers Moo Joos

 

Best: Brett C. from Prairie... Nice and dry with a nice amount of funk. I really enjoyed it.
Worst: Birthday Beer from Shiner... way too sweet.

 

Best: CBS

Worst by a MILE: New Braunfels Brewing Mexican Cannon

 

Felt the same way about rose!

 

Best: Hills Farmstead Susan & Trillium Artaic
Worst: My homebrew

 

W: Sixpoint Jammer
B: Kane Mexican Brunch

 

Best:
Revolution Fist City
Victory Prima Pils (I know, what took me so long...)
Tank 7
Ale Asylum Bedlam

Worst:
Sorachi Ace (going to give it another try, think I may have had a bad bottle)
Upland Teddy Bear Kisses

 

I'd like to see if this stays the same or how much it changes after the full year... Anticipation of GI BC offerings

Best: My first Hill Farmstead - Arthur

Worst: Milwaukee Brewing Hop Happy IPA - My fault for drinking anything other than New Glarus from Wisconsin

 

Best: Surly Darkness (2013) and 50/50 Eclipse - Brewmaster's Grand Cru

Both perfect 5s.

Worst (infected division): Revolution Very Mad Cow

Worst (non-infected division): Grimm Color Field - just not a very good sour.

 

Best:
- BCBS 2013
- Crimson Snapper (Pipeworks Brewing Co.)
- SOS

Worst:
- Creme Brûlée (Southern Tier Brewing Co.)
- Oasis from Infinite Regress (Pipeworks Brewing Co.)

 

Best: A Deal With the Devil, Parabola, Consecration
Worst: Bourbon Fred from the Wood 2011 (Sorry. Couldn't dig it) and both batches of La Trappe Oak Aged Quad I tried.

 

Blazing World is basically a "red IPA"...and I love it. To each their own.

 

Best: Carton Regular Coffee, Yazoo Sue.

Most Disapointing: Great Lakes Sharpshooter Wheat

Most Overhyped(to me): Sierra Nevada Hop Hunter

And apparently this is the second time I've answered this thread.

 

Best might have had to be Sherry Zhukov, but I could list a dozen beers that are a close second... its been a good year for beer so far.

I hate to say any beer is the worst, and would definitely not call the following anywhere near the worst I had- but one of my biggest let downs was the Flying Dog Mexican Hot Chocolate Stout. I love a good spiced stout and had high expectations that were definitely not met.

I'll add to my disappointments NYFRB- I can not drink this stuff without ice cream in it.

 

Not sure if I've posted in this thread yet, but so far:

Worst: Greenport Otherside IPA

Best: Lagunitas CitrusiNensis and Saranac Pacific Galaxy
