    Hell or High Watermelon! Awesome summer sessionable ale, not too sweet. Great for the lawn or the beach. Don't know where all the hate comes from.

    At the RR pub, tourists drink PtE...locals drink Blind Pig. That says a lot to me.

    Blind Pig is definitely the real deal.

    Absolutely. Bars in New Haven (two years ago) sold this for $2 a can. Just like NEBCO's other hopped concoctions, a delicious brew.

    I checked through my old scores and the biggest difference was Dogfish Head Ta Henket, which I enjoyed. Was it a complete success? No, not quite. But in some ways, it may have been the most authentic of DFH's Ancient Ales. I appreciated what they were trying to achieve with that beer.

    I have to admit that this was a rare case where I became peeved with other raters because I perceived (rightly or wrongly) that many people didn't meet Ta Henket on its own terms.

    Mongo is rated high what's the problem . I think you want it in the top 100 i.p.a.s. which I totally agree, it is unbelievable . Maybe bottling it in a 6 pack would help its popularity.

    People hate SA triple bock more than bladder cancer, I was apparently the only human who really dug it. Maybe I just got the perfect couple of bottles. I thought it was rich, complex and deep and everyone else absolutely loathes it.

    According to my profile rDev? Coors followed by deviant dales. The caviat to this is that I rate within styles, and coors is about the best aal I have had. However pretty much every other style blows it away as I don't care for the american adjunct lager as much as, say, a stout. So I feel it defaults to deviant dales. That beer is just amazing tto me, but it doesn't get the love I feel it deserves. I mean it beat out PtE at gabf in 2012.

    Uinta Labyrinth. Excellent beer that I think I've seen mentioned exactly once in these forums. The rating is good, but it's not a beer people talk about.

    allagash saison, not a huge fan of the style or the brewery but that beer is really good, and very very drinkable, great for warm weather and year round, plus probably a good beer to introduce to people inexperienced with craft beer/ not into IPA's.

    Hop'solutely by Fegley's/Allentown. I thought it was *perfectly* balanced, really dug it. That was pretty long ago when I was first scratching the surface, might have different thoughts now.
