    West Coast and Palate Wrecker are on par with each other for me. Totally different ballgames though.

    I would have to say GF Barleywine Style Ale. It's a wonderful American interpretation. I love west coast and palate wrecker too. Green Flash is close to one of my fav breweries but that damn Friendship Brew killed it for me. It's so bad I cringe when I see it still sitting around. And at 10+ a 4 pack too. You couldn't pay me to drink that crap.

    West Coast IPA or Palate Wrecker are dynamite from their regular lineup. Silva Stout is, in my opinion, severly underated. So balanced and delicious. Hop Odyssey #2, the imperial rye red, was the tits.

    Palate Wrecker, Imperial IPA, and Hophead Red are all awesome.

    First to catch my attention was Le Freak. West Coast, Imperial, Hop Head Red, & Palate Wrecker are all great. Can't wait to try Silva.

    Silva and Double are great. West Coast is pretty good too. Never had any others, but will make a point to try them.

    I was a big fan of their six packs! Heavier bottles, less beer for the same price now, I don't get it. Bring back the sixer. Btw I love the West Coast and the Palate Wrecker. I wish I could buy it more often, the four pack is a deal breaker most days.

    Hop Head Red, plain and simple. Solid beer.

    Really, really dug Palate Wrecker, though I'm typically not a fan of that style of beer. Double Stout can be hit or miss with me (but when it's good, it's REALLY good). Totally underwhelmed by Rayon Vert which, in my opinion, doesn't begin to hold a candle to Matilda or Orval. West Coast IPA is quite solid too.

    I think the first batch of Silva Stout is still one of the best beers I've ever had, but the best Green Flash beer I can get regularly is Rayon Vert. I honestly don't understand the love for West Coast IPA, it's fine, but has never stood out to me as anything special.

    Rayon vert by a mile

    Imperial IPA much better than west coast in my world

    The last friendship brew......I know most gate it but its a great beer in my opinion. A bit expensive but I hope it comes back this year

    Enjoy

    I definitely enjoyed Le Freak. I would love to try Silva Stout but have not had the privilege.

    Fresh West Coast is amazing, almost same level as Jai Alai for me (Florida boy). Not so fresh West coast is just OK. (Kinda like any other IPA)

    Had 2 Green Flash beers last night:
    The Saison Diego was very good, a perfect warm summer night brew.
    The West Coast IPA was nothing but hops and bitter, no balance at all, a chore to even get through, and makes me understand why some people accuse IPA's of tasting like dishwashing soap.
