    Probably Rogue's Yellow Snow IPA. I seriously need to take the time out to review it. I don't think that the current rating is absurd, but I believe that it should be higher.

    The new Sea Hag recipe is a great beer, my go to for partys and backyard events where Im going to be drinking more then a couple. Totally agree with all of you. Sea Hag is grossly underrated on here.

    My girlfriend is in love with this beer.

    For me..probably Hofbrau Hefeweizen, judging by rDev (although it doesn't necessarily have bad ratings). My main everyday beer, prefer it to any other Hefe (including Weihenstephaner). Another...and I hate to say this, might be Shock Top (Witbier). I haven't had one in a long time, but I remember them being really tasty to me, and then really confused when I saw the low ratings on BA until I realized it was an AB InBev product.

    Blue Moon is another. It's actually a pretty good beer and easy drinking. Have no issue ordering one when it is the best option on the list.

    Easily it's Epic's Big Bad Baptist...this a world class imperial stout that doesn't ever get talked about...one of the best stouts around IMO.

    St. Pauli Girl - If you buy it in a case (not light struck) it's a solid pilsner and certainly does not warrant a "poor" rating. It's perplexing that a beer like Narragansett Lager or Yuengling Lager - which to me is in the same category of a cheaper warm weather lager - could rate so much higher.

    Drake's Hopocalypse owns! I think I rated it 4.5ish which was above average. I'm a tough rater and it's in my top five. I can't recall a more impressive DIPA. I should have rated it 4.75.

    I remember drinking it and saying to myself, "holy fuck, this beer is the real deal and suddenly so many DIPAs that I previously thought were awesome are now weak sauce. Drake's Denogginizer and Aroma Coma are also outstanding, but I didn't rate them here and don't know how they rank.

    Agree, it is probably because the barrel aging of this beer is not as pronounced as others. Still, not a beer to be trifled with and wish I saw it around here more.

    Jai Alai not in the top 250 is a travesty. If it came from Cali it would be rated 99.9, not 93. Sweetwater IPA is a killer IPA as well.

    Ballast Point's Long Fin Lager.... One of my favorite lagers!

    I can't complain to much, it still has a good rating on here.

    I agree. That Daytime IPA started my lust after sessionable beers with balanced yet complex hop profiles.

    Yes. Both of those are among the best IPAs I have had.

    I can't pick just one.

    - Widmer Citra Blonde. Excellent summer drank. I'm by no means a big fan of Widmer, but I think it's overlooked simply because that's who brews it.
    - Abita Strawberry Harvest. Again, I that the perception of the brewery is what's working against it with BAs. That and a bias against fruit beers. Super refreshing hot weather beer.
    - Moretti La Rossa. Very good doppelbock. Maybe it's just something that most people skip since it's one of the bigger Italian breweries, but it's a damn good beer either way.
    - Stone Belgo Anise IRS. One of the more divisive beers I've ever seen on here. I thought that it got crapped on far too much. It's certainly not nearly as good as the Espresso IRS, but I definitely liked it a hell of a lot more than fresh standard IRS.

    If I could find it freshly bottled in Fresno/Clovis, then I would probably agree.

    Sweetwater IPA... If you're from the dirty south you've probably had 420 extra pale ale, which is decent, but damn the IPA is wayyyy overlooked.

    My highest rDev is for Pizza Boy's "Solid Gold Bock"... it was a soured bock aged in Apple Brandy barrels. Tasted and smelled like boozy apple pie. I thought it was pretty damn good.

    Yards Love Stout. Awesome and easy drinking stout and pairs greatly with a number of foods.
