RR Depuration Feeler

last i had deviation it was most certainly on the decline. not that this should affect your offer depuration may also be in a similar place. i'd say your offer is fair/good, just need to find the taker, but there are other beers i'd currently trade either for.

 

I've only had Deviation once (at -tion night during Beer Week) and thought it was a good beer, but not that great. B3 Beatification mopped the floor with it (LITERALLY!!!!). I'm with Masterski, I don't think American Wilds tend to age well, past a certain point. Except beatification, I guess.

I don't think this will really affect your trade meaningfully, since at this point it seems like anyone who wants either is mostly looking for the tick.

 

Agree 100% with Jeremy. Have never had depuration fresh but had it at the end of last year and it was mediocre at best. Very tuned down and muted. Deviation has taken one step back and I have had several bottles over the past few years. Each one was glorious.

 

Did a study with b3, tracked it for two years over about 10 bottles. Did something similar with b4. Temptation always needs 16-24 months, have never preferred it fresh.

B2 Beatification is considerably weaker than it was at peak. I think currently weaker than Sanctification b3, Temptation b4, and Deviation (Have tasted 3 bottles of each in last 6 months, many in last two years, save for Deviation).

Isabelle has not impressed me since the first bottle I opened. I find it really muddled at this point.
