    Not to say that any of these are poor beers (in fact many I've rated between 4.5 and 5), but they all fell short of their respective hype for me:

    1. Founder's KBS (still gave it a 5, but was expecting a game changer and it just wasn't)
    2. Logsdon Peche N Brett (loved Seizon Bretta, but this was very medicinal for me)
    3. Not Your Father's Root Beer (5.9%)
    4. Tree House Julius (I'll take Haze any day)
    5. Deschutes Abyss (very good, not great)
    6. Maine Lunch (a month old, but was expecting so much more)
    7. 3 Floyds Zombie Dust (a great beer, especially given the lower abv, but not top 20 or even 100 IMO)
    8. Union Double Duckpin
    9. Half Acre Daisy Cutter
    10. Hardywood GBS
    11. Hardywood Bourbon GBS
    12. Prairie Apple Brandy Noir
    13. North Coast Old Stock Cellar Reserve (Bourbon Barrel)
    14. Thirsty Dog Wulver

    I sort of get what you are trying to say, but the average review is 4.62 and you gave it a 5. You literally over-rated this beer compared to everyone else. The hype then increases with another 5 rating.

    Sculpin and Chillwave for me. Just wasn't a fan.

    I love citrusy IPAs...I guess I just prefer them to get the citrus profile from the hops used rather than adding a questionable extract to get the flavor. Honestly, it seems like a half assed attempt to turn a west coast beer into one of the citrus bombs from the northeast.

    Torpedo. Tastes like olives to me.
    Exit 16. To me, it just didn't have much character. Just extremely meh.

    Could have said it better myself. I generally avoid IPAs altogether since most are over-hopped abominations.

    Any of the Sculpin's and most of the Stone lineup.
    SN Bigfoot and Narwahl. Otherwise I've loved everything SN has put out, but those 2 I just don't get the love for.

    Grapefruit Sculpin. Everyone up here seems to be going apeshit over it and I can't figure out why. It's decent, but Sculpin is better. And from what I understand it's artificially flavored.
