Surly Eight Ale Label

^,Do you like how it tastes now?

 

Had a bottle last night and it was pretty damned good. With some age on it. it's going to be great

 

If you haven't tried it drink it!!! It's excellent now...as are 99% of the beers you buy..don't get so caught up in the "aging" craze that you forget to enjoy your beer!!

 

So I did try it! Amazeballs!!! Went and picked up 2 more! Gonna age one at least.

 

uh...heck yeah! Probably one of my new favorites!

 

Nice! Glad you tried it AND got two for a later date! Cheers

 

I thought it was amazing myself, glad you tried it!

Liquor boy SLP had a bunch

 

Not north west, but France 44 had a bunch when I was in last night.

 

Liquor Boy SLP had an abundance for $20 each. Also Pentagram for $20 and Pum[KY]n for $14

 

Thanks for the help guys! Wife was able to find a couple of bottles for me.

 

France 44 still has a bunch. $20.99 IIRC?

 

I opened a bottle and I'm pretty darn sure it's infected. I've had rye, I've had milk stouts, I've had wheatwines/barleywines/oat beers, and none of those prepared me for this, in a bad way.

Tart with a very clashing finish. As the bottle warmed up it smelled honestly like garbage.

I emailed Surly. I know i'm not the only one, but I am hoping it can be isolated down to certain bottles, I would like to enjoy this. Not prepared to throw out $80 worth of beer.

 

Ugh, this is now becoming more of a trend. Keep us posted on what you hear from Surly. I haven't opened one of mine yet, but will post my experience when I do.

 

Bummer, mine tasted great, tons of whiskey to it, no tart or clash to speak of. Hope they respond to you in some way.

 

Now i'm going to have to crack a bottle in the name of QC.... pray for me.

 

Had Surly Eight 6 times on tap at Dakota Jazz and was a phenomenal beer.
My first bottle tasted like brett was added, the 2nd was much closer to on tap, and now my third bottle... Brett, sour; exactly like the first bottle I opened.

I'm confused, it doesn't taste like other infected beers I've had. Such as CWBBS or CWPM... With Eight bottles, I clearly taste brett funk, barn yard, and slight sourness. Was brett added?? It's not "bad" at all, but it is night and day from what I tasted on tap several times. I hope Eight isn't infected, but I don't know how else to explain the dramatic tap vs bottle difference. Anyone hear back from Surly yet?
