Under Rated?

Schlafly Pumpkin Ale (18.2%)

Aside from that, I'm typically under the average on my reviews. The next highest is Bells Amber Ale in the 9% range. Schlafly Pumpkin Ale is one of my all-time favorite brews, so I will always give it high marks. I haven't posted a review in awhile. I need to post a few.

 

Schalfly consistently puts out some good beers. The A-IPA wasn't for me. The Amarillo overwhelmed the whole thing and I am not a huge fan of that hop. I get an awful Froot Loop taste from it. I definitely enjoy the Winter ESB, and thought the Yakima Wheat was great.

 

Petrus Aged Pale (19.9%)
La Folie (12.8%)
Tart of Darkness (10.3%)

I love me some sours!

 

Loved :
Meddler
Hiveranno
did not review but brought these to a tasting and most agreed that hiveranno was as good as supplication!
Meddler is amazing. I think it is rated lower because it is not super sour but it is so complex and well crafted. Odells to CT please

 

I drink copious amounts of this beer whenever I see it around.

 

Mine:

Saint Lamvinus - 14.2%
Flying Dog BA Gonzo - 18.8
White Rajah - 16.3
Bell's Sparkling - 17.5

And for fun, two beers I like WAYYY less than most people:

Goose Island Imperial IPA - 53.1 (though the most recent time I had it there were some possible infection issues)
Great Lakes Christmas Ale - 36.1

 

Yikes...
Local Option Morning Wood +32%
Dark Horse Perkulator +20%
Avery the Beast Grand Cru +19%
Bruery Autumn Maple +18.7%
BCBS +13.9%
and on and on....

Damn. I'm either really soft, or I just really like beer. All of it.

Well, I guess not all of it. A couple noteworthy dislikes:
New Holland Ichabod -41.9%
Mill St. Nightmare on Mill St. - 31.1%

 

My biggest:

Biggs' 'stache
Three Floyds Brewing Co. & Brewpub
American Wild Ale ? 3.98 +86%

 

Dreadnaught and Hopslam= 2 of my faves.

 

My highest rDev's
HaandBryggereit Krøkkebic: +13.1%
Barrel Aged Alpha Klaus w/ Plum: +10.7%
Drake's Drakonic Imperial Stout: +9.5%

Notable dislikes
Surly Sÿx: -39.1%
Central Water's Bourbon Barrel Cherry Stout: -36%
Lexington's Kentucky Bourbon Ale: -21%

 

Yards ESA and Uinta Detour Double IPA. On the latter, I think I received an exceptionally fresh bottle when I first had it. On the Yards ESA, I stand by that one as one of my favorite go to beers. Well balanced and very tasty

 

Route Des Epices - 24.1%

 

A bit confused here as Dreadnaught, Hopslam and Double Trouble are damn near legendary! Most love those beers and seek them out.
Am I misunderstanding this thread?

 

Bourbon Fred from the Wood at +20.8%. (This is easily explainable because I had the 2012, and all but perhaps 3 or 4 of the other bottle reviews are from the inferior 2011)

The next is Old Richland at +9.8%. I think I got a good bottle as there seems to be some bottle variation with that particular beer.

 

Agree with Casedogg. How can some of these ever be underrated? Perhaps a beer that is rated overall under 4 that you see as a 4+ would be a better benchmark. Nonetheless, a good forum for underachieving brews

 

You're just quick to give out 5s. Different people have different tastes. I would rank Rochefort 8 wayy lower, for example.
