Rank Surly anniversary beers!

5 > 8 > 9 > 6 > 7

 

^ could not agree more

 

I had 5 at Heritage's event on thursday and thought it was amazing. By far the best I've had. Four was nice as well, had it with 4 years on it and it was delicious. I would say 5>4>8>6>9>7.

 

5 (tap was better than bottle)
8 (tap was better than bottle)
4
6
7
9

 

I have had Surly Four and on...Four is by far the best....one of the best beers I've ever had, period. Five would rank second for me.

 

4 > 3 > 5 > 8 > 9 > 6 > 7

 

While I wouldn't necessarily put it at the top of my list, I had 7 recently and thought that it improved tremendously with age vs fresh.

 

I also think that seven is a better beer now than it was previously. The Brett has really helped to bring it around.
My ranking:
5 > 7 > 6 > 8 > 9 > 3

 

Of what I've had this would be my list as well!

 

5>6>4>7>8>9

 

(jesus juice)>>4>2>8>3>5>6>7>9

 

4 > 1 > 6 > 7 > 3 > 9 > 8 > 2 > 5

Four was an all-time classic.

 

1 - 3 - 5 - 4 - 8 - 6 - 7 - 2 - (haven't tried 9)

One & three were tap only. Two was extremely limited & likely unobtainable at this point. Once a beery highlight of the year, I haven't been much interested in an anniversary beer since Five.

 

Ive only had 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9
But I would say 8 is the best, the the rest aren't even worth ranking honestly, they were all below average
If I had to it would be
8>5>7>6>9

 

Just had 5 at Brewer's Table last night (may be the easiest way to have it at this point). Tasting great as always. I've had each of them except 9 but a few were so long ago it's hard to remember. 5 and 8 are standouts for sure. I never got the hype on 4. It's good but not "trades for rare Loons" good. Syx has definitely improved from fresh when it tasted like wood and rubbing alcohol but I don't think it will ever be a really great beer. Interested to try 7 again to see how the Brett is playing out. My ABR program from 2006 or 2007 tells me I tried Bourbon One but I have no memory. I am not a fan of 3. A very kind friend opened a bottle of 2 a year or so ago. Was fine but you'd probably have to trade your first born to get hold of one of the probably 5 or 10 bottles that still exist and that would not be worth it.

 

I don't think it has a flavor profile most like, but if it sounds good to u I bet you'll enjoy it. it was so readily available at the time I ended up purchasing 2 cases of it. Too each their own, I personally like it quite a bit. As far as ranking, I find that difficult bc they are all so different. I've had 3 and up. 3 was terrible to me, I guess braggots aren't my thing, and 9 did nothing for me. I really liked all the others.

 

Its not hate, I mean 7 is decent..but once you have it I think you will see that it isn't anything special...

 

This would be my order as well except I never had 1 or 2
