    Most recent would be Dogfish head Midas Touch. Not the most hoppy and extreme but a very Good balance. Best beer of all time would be Widmer's Snow Plow no longer in circulation.

    Maine brewing "Lunch" takes first place for me...Palate Wrecker and Stone "Enjoy by" being tied for second. But also I might include that I've yet to enjoy any HT or Zombie Dust, one or both of those could influence that ranking lol

    Had Mo on draft at a local restaurant. Spent half my dinner thinking about whether or not they would sell me the rest of the keg. Quite possibly one of the finest brews a functional alcoholic can imbibe.

    When reviewing mine I was surprised so no comment because it wasn't what I expected contrary to what I thought. Prost everyone! :slight_smile:

    At this current point in time...

    Probably.... Fat Head's Head Hunter. It's simply the perfect IPA for me. It's not alcohol heavy, it smells of strong grapefruit and pineapple, and has the bitter hop bite with little to no malt backbone. Absolutely delicious, and perfect any time of the year.

    I've long since given up on saying this is number 1. There's always something else.

    I've got two beers tied for highest score at 4.9, Duvel and Bourbon County Rare. Is Duvel one of my two favorite beers of all time? No, but I do make an effort to rate to style, and it's pretty much the definition of a Belgian Strong Pale Ale (similarly, if I ever get around to reviewing Sierra Nevada Pale Ale I'm sure it'll end up scoring quite high). Bourbon County Rare I opened within a month or two of its release and it was absolutely sublime. Definitely an all time great drinking experience for me. Honorable mentions go to KBS and Firestone 14 for scoring above a 4.8 (4.85 and 4.83 respectively).
