Steel Toe Brewing

remember that time that pee wee loved frozen fruit cubes so much that he wanted to marry them and then he did?

that's how I feel about this beer.

 

if you didn't have the first one, how do you know there's a difference?

 

It's a big beer and a lot can change. I am not sure this is true, but to me, it seems as if it would be hard for a big beer with a lot of shit in it to turn out identical as before. I know there is a lot of science that goes into making a beer and it just seems unlikely with something like this. Now a beer like sam adams, that is something that will taste the same every time.

I don't have a master pallet or anything, but to me, these beers weren't in the same league. Glad @nograz gave me a can of SoS that I am thoroughly enjoying right now instead. Thanks bud!

 

Variation in hop crop can cause it or maybe they got a different extraction from the hops during the boil just to name a few items. I don't know what methods they used for hop addition in Sticker Fight, but I have been reading up on whirl pooling hop additions. Temperature can play a huge roll what you get out of the hops. So yeah, like what mothman said, science and stuff!

@mothman No problem, glad to help with your top 250 and that you like it.

 

"Science and stuff"

wow, SoS is awesome! Definitely lives up to they hype! I rate pretty difficult and this is up there with the best of the best ipas. 4.5

 

Well, they CAN be pretty expensive! 463L HCU-6/E Master Pallet

 

Yes and more yes! Hahaha! Great post!

 

you could play mad libs with that standard of judgment (which i imagine runs rampant through the entire site):

last year's [a noun] was so much [an adjective] that i [a verb] [a gerund] this year's.

end result is that you liked this one? so did i.

 

So pretty much everyone is saying is drain-pour this time around?

 

I think it is still good, just not the "holy cow this beer is awesome!!11!!" that I remember the last batch being. I am actually hoping a bit of age in the bottles helps.

 

last year's [batch] was so much [more awesome] that i [hope] [aging] this year's [helps].

it works! (or at least it works when i cheat and add one word at the end.)

 

I didn't find the last batch to be that awesome. It was a solid beer, but nothing I need to be sure I get. More for the rest of you Enjoy what you like my beer friends.
