    Fair enough.

    It's still more a volume-based list than anything else. Founders Centennial IPA is on the list as well. I would imagine I'd be hard pressed to find anyone touting this as a world class, elite IPA. But, it's been around awhile, has multiple reviews, and is a popular style.

    Depending on the style, that list can be worthless, or useful. For IPAs and double IPAs, worthless.

    For witbiers? Yes, I would say Allagash White is a world class witbier and would be one of the first I'd recommend.

    Festina peche and punkin are two of my favorite beers, and 120 is like drinking hop candy. I mean come on, who doesn't liike candy? You can use it to lure hipsters into your van.

    I like 90 minute and Burton Baton. Other than that, I usually steer clear of them. Beer money is somewhat precious. But I probably try 1 or 2 a year to see what they got.

    After the moon-rock gimmick (among others), it gets really hard for me to decipher if they are artists or just marketers. I hope they keep doing what they do though.

    I'm unapologetically a fan of most of the stuff Dogfish Head does. Their beers can be wacky and goofy, but I really like that especially when they turn out really well. Do all of them? No. But there are plenty I enjoy:

    60 Minute
    75 Minute
    90 Minute
    120 Minute (aged)
    Bourton Baton
    Palo Santo
    WWS (aged)
    Festina Peche
    ...

    I could go on.

    The only IPA I'll drink is their 120min. I just can't stomach anything else I've tried to this point.

    Locking this down.

    Not sure if the original post was a troll or not :rolling_eyes:, but there's been adequate discussion from the community to provide direction for others if they want to try DFH beers. Use the information with discretion; taste is subjective and YMMV.
