    Year Round: Burton Baton, 90 Min through Randall of fresh hops is amazing!
    Seasonal Aprihop
    Big Bottle, Sah Tea, and Bitches
    Brewpub Exclusive, Steam Punk Smoked Porter and Urkontinent (thankfully they are bottling this)
    Collab: Life & Limb 1

    OK, I like a lot of their stuff, but have had some stuff I don't care for.

    Punkin, Aprihop, and Festina Peche are all purchase worthy and I don't buy six packs often.

    90 minute and Punkin are my current favorites from DFH. Had a flight at a local bar last night and also liked Aprihop as well. Wasn't a fan of tweason'ale though.

    I've had some good DFH beers, and some lackluster ones. I need to revisit a bunch of them, however, because my tastes change periodically. I thoroughly enjoy Aprihop. I had 4 pints on tap yesterday and it was just delightful. Also a fan of the Squall, 90 Minute, Burton Baton, World Wide Stout, and 75 Minute. Still, they make a ton of stuff I can certainly do without.

    I didnt think they had released Aprihop yet this year. I havent had it yet but am looking forward to it.

    My favorites are easily 90 Min, Burton Baton, Punkin, Chicory Stout, Midas Touch, and Sah Tea. To be honest I really LOVE DFH. The only beer of theirs I have had I didnt like was the Festina Peche. The Festina was simply a let down.

    Tweason'ale was easily my biggest letdown from them. It's terrible.

    Hops will do that. Some hops do have the smell and even flavor of their Cannabaceae cousin. Lupulin has a similar effect even as that of Cannabinol., and is also considered a narcotic. Through my experiences, it seems to make a difference in how the beer was hopped; the process. Reflecting back to similar younger years...sometimes drinking a hoppy beer reminds me of how I felt after ingesting some special brownies, or some some wondrous creation. :grinning:

    Ok, my faves...

    Fort..love, love love.
    Squall was in my top 3.
    Black and Blue, Red and White
    Burton Baton, Aprihop, Punkin
    I enjoy the ancient recipes too
    I haven't tried nearly as many as I want to. Anyone who looks in my cellar will see I love me some DFH.

    Probably take My Antonia over Burton Baton -- only had about 7 or 8 different DFH beers, though.

    Of what I've had, hands down Bitches Brew.

    I've got 1 more bottle of the '10 in the cellar and 2-3 of '11 that I can't wait to open.

    Runner up goes to Squall.

    Honorable mention to Red and White. That was surprisingly good.

    Tried 75 minute for the first time last night. It is absolutely genius, and one of the best bottle conditioned IPA's I have ever had. The syrup is a great addition to this beer- creates some crazy chocolate/oak/vanilla/pina colada flavors. DFH is an incredible brewery, and their contribution to the craft beer movement is critical.

    I love Burton Baton, Olde School is amazingly drinkable for 15%, and Punkin is my second favorite pumpkin beer.

    Screw it, had Palo Santo last night and I was very impressed.

    I just picked up a bottle of Red and White. I'm hoping I like it also!

    I can't wait to try 75 minute. It is nowhere to be found yet in Vermont/NH. Also, I haven't seen Aprihop yet either. I have a Black and Blue I've been meaning to open, how's that one taste?

    Someone should show Sam this thread to reassure him that BAers love DFH, despite the negative thread.
