    I know this doesn't count since it has a 93% here, but I was really surprised that more people weren't really impressed by Navaja (Half Acre). Maybe it's this year's batch vs. last year's (I've only had 2013), but this is the first DIPA in a looooooong time that really stood out, and is currently probably my favorite.

    I know I differ from most in that I don't love high bitterness in my DIPAs (I don't mind it), but Navaja was smoother and sweeter than I've had in a while, and really impressed. After Navaja I had both RuinTen (awesome) and Dreadnaught (really good), but neither impressed as much as Navaja.

    MacKrocken Flower from Le Bilboquet in Quebec. One of the finest scotch ales I have tasted.

    When one crosses the Mississippi, the air changes. Texans think independence and Californians know that the sun comes up early somewhere east. I'm sorry, I can't help it!

    Southern Tier Live for me. I can see people wanting a tad bit more flavor, but I love the tropical flavors and could drink it all day. ST needs to can the sh*t out of it.

    Here's hoping they re-brew the Ale on Estate Raspberries at some point, that beer is/was insanely good (and underrated).

    Evil Twin Soft Dk is getting a 90 and has slowly risen through the 80s but nobody talks about this either. Even though it is something like $15 for 17oz, it's wonderful. Certainly not the "most underrated" but noteworthy for the topic.

    I was told they will rotate most woods in and out every year plus try a new style every year as well. This year it's cranberry. Not sure what their schedule is going to look like on Island Reserves. The two they had at the release "party" were Gose and Tripel. I'm still the only one to have reviewed Gose. And there was a problem with one if the Tripel kegs, which is unfortunately what I had. If the rest of it is not overyeasted like that one, it's a very good Tripel. But the extra stirred up yeast made it bitter until it settled.

    Easy....Burrificio Del Ducato My Blueberry Nightmare. Awesome dark blueberry sour I had at Ebenezer's. A few people killed the overall score with bad reviews, which I don't get at all. Apparently they don't like sours.

    Most offerings from Uinta. Cockeyed Cooper, Oak Jacked, Labyrinth, Hop Notch, and Sea Legs were all fantastic releases. Surprised they dont get more love.

    The cranberry sounds promising, though I wasn't a fan of the Blueberry Bike Path. Can't wait for more Woods, but Estate Raspberries was head and shoulders above every other Cisco beer I've had. Gose looks tasty as well!

    A lot of Mikkeller stuff is underrated -- I think because the prices can be a bit outrageous. Spontanwildstrawberry in the high 70s is a joke.

    I'm not gonna say, as I don't want to make trading for this beer turn into a shitshow! :wink:

    I will say that in general, there are many great beers that are way underrated on BA..
