What are some blind tastings you've done and what were the results? Just Did Pliny, permanent funeral, abrasive, heady, and ninja vs unicorn. my results: 1. permanent funeral 2. nvu 3. heady 4. abrasive 5. pliny
Just had a blind of multiple jai Alais. Cans, diff dates, tap. They all taste different. Mystery solved...
OT, I'd really like to get my hands on a bottle of PF and a can of Heady Topper. But I'm surprised Abrasive and Pliny (the 2 on that list that I've had) are so low. I really enjoyed both even though they are VERY different in flavor profiles.
we've started doing blind tastings among some friends - most recent one was saturday - here are the results 1. Fatheads Hop Juju 2. Cigar City Hopped on the High Seas 3. Brew Bus Last Stop IPA 4. DC Brau OTWOA 5. Great Lakes Chillwave 6. Cigar City Jai Alai
They were all fantastic and it was not an easy decision. I am very sure that permanent funeral and nvu are my top 2 though. Did a blind tasting a week before this with some of the same beers and my top 2 were the same.
Always surprises me but one common thing is that in almost every case of doing vertical tastings, people always prefer the fresher/newest year. I guess I need to clean out my cellar before things even get worse.
For Three Floyds, I actually prefer Dreadnaught to Permanent Funeral. If you ever get a chance at a bottle, snag it.
