Definitely one of my favorite beers of all time.
2) Lips of Faith - Heavenly Feijoa Tripel +18.2% (4.41)
Thought this was a solid and unique beer.
3) Avery IPA +16.3% (4.5)
One of my favorite readily available IPAs that can be found in Wyoming.

Lowest:
1)Sofie -20.9% (3.25)
Good beer but nothing special. Definitely have had a lot better saisons that don't get the hype this one recieves.
2)Maharaja -19.4 (3.41)
Think this one wasn't fresh when I tried it. Wish Avery would date their bottles.
3)Sierra Nevada Tumbler Autumn Brown Ale -18.5% (3.13)
Just kind of a bland brown in my opinion. Disappointing as I love most Sierra Nevada brews.

+32%
(stand by it; thought it was a very interesting, enjoyable beer)

-57.3%

1) river horse tripel horse - 1.0

just reviews

highest
1) anchor humming ale, 4.85
+30%
(fresh, this is a perfect blend of new zealand hops and beautifully constructed malt backbone. world class pale ale)

2) southern tier cuvee series #1, 4.78
+27.1%
(this one got a lot of hate on BA, but i thought it took the coconut element of american oak and turned it to 11, as they say. really loved this beer)

3) flying dog kerberos tripel 4.3
+23.9%
(and not because i like authentication. underrated american take on the style)

lowest
3) monk's cafe sour flemish ale, 2.25
-41.3%
(too sweet, very unpleasant)

2) thomas hooker chocolate truffle stout, 2.08
-44.7%
(tasted like halloween makeup smells. disgusting beer; should not have been released)

1) ommegang aphrodite, 1.88
49.7%
(reallllllly tasted like cheap fruit juice mixed with dirt)

Arbor Espresso Love +32
Mammoth Brewing Lake Tahoe Red +19.8
Coronado Blue Ridge Coffee Stout +17.1%

Lowest:

Bell's Oarsman -71.5
Triton Deadeye Stout -70.1 (maybe the worst beer I've ever tasted)
Sam Adams Cherry Wheat -68.2

 

3 highest:

Great Divide Titan: +22%
- Got me into IPAs

Middle Ages Beast Bitter: +21.8%
- A thoroughly enjoyable, flavorful example of the style

Green Flash Green Bullet Triple IPA: +21.5%
- Hoppy, Hoppy, Hoppy


3 Lowest (Excluding full-Macro, not crafty)

Adirondack Dirty Blonde: -57.4%
- Tasted like rotten stomach bile

Blue Moon Grand Cru: -55.1%
- Had modest expectations going in due to "crafty" nature. Still totally let down, poorly made excuse for Belgian-style

Yuengling Black and Tan: - 53.1%
-If I want a mixed drink, I'll have a cocktail; plain and simple

 

Highest:

Rogue Voodoo Maple Bacon: 36.1%: I thought is was really tasty for a rauchbier-ish style beer. Nose was really nice.

De Molen Bed & Breakfast: 28%: Had a ton of coffee and chili pepper flavors and was quite robust/balanced for the session beer area. I tend to enjoy most experimental brews though.

New Holland White Hatter: 24.8%: I bought a fresh bomber on release last year. Was perfectly balanced with the hop, spice, and yeast flavors. Hit all the right notes for me for a Belgian IPA.

Lowest:

Dogfish Head Fort: -47.3%: Raspberry Vodka drainpour. Had it a while ago(2011) and was a ~3-4 year bottle at the time. Totally undrinkable. May have been a bad bottle due to store temp conditions, but I will probably never get to try it again unless dogfish makes it again.

Flying Dog Collaborator Doppelbock: -44.9%: Oxidized uncarbonated mess to the drain. I have no idea why I bought it lol

Saison Voisin: -42.2%: Another oxidized cardboard mess drainer. Tasted nothing like a saison.

 

I have quite a few deviations and some severe in both directions. Here we go -

Old Scratch Amber Lager at -31.6% - for the life of me I can't remember this beer but I was new and highly doubt that I even knew what an amber was supposed to taste like.

Smuttynose Shoals Pale Ale -31.3% - I remember this one. Had a creeping bitter that actually tore at the back of my throat.

Peak Organic IPA -24.7% -all the peak organic beers have a terrible vegetal taste to me, somthing bitter and liek cooked lettuce.

I am going to omit double zilla form the biggest positive deviation I had because I had it uberfresh on the day it was released.

Dogfish Head Theobroma + 15.4% - I will have more of this beer please!
Ommegang Iron Throne +14.9% - just a delightful beer
Sly Fox Helles Golden Lager - +14.7% I need to buy this one by the case.

 

Never really looked at this before , mine are all over the place


Tallgrass Vanilla Bean Buffalo Sweat -29.1

Innus and Gunn Original -28.2

Smutty Nose Finest Kind IPA -27 I figure this one will cause me to catch some crap



Shipyard IPA +28.8

Bud Light +21

Deviant Dales +19.1

 

All of my highest +s are macros. I guess I like 'em more than most.

-

Steam Engine Lager
Steamworks Brewing Co. -53%

Willy Wheat Ale
Alpine Beer Company -52.9%

Adam
Hair of the Dog Brewing Company / Brewery and Tasting Room -50.1%

 

I'm going to ignore ones I haven't got around to re-reviewing since I really got into it (2013 vs 2008), so here we go:

My "underrated" brews:
Fiddlehead Brewing - Fiddlehead IPA - +26.9% (4.91), not really sure how to explain it other than it simply does it for me.
Long Trail - Blackbeary Wheat - +25.9% (3.89), I know, I know, I can't help it, I really can't defend my love for this one, even though I'm still only rating it "above average"
The Shed Brewery - Mountain Ale - +25.7% (4.65), here I will staunchly defend my rating, I rated the beer in its style category, which I am coming to find a lot of members on these sites simply don't do. I guess that's because members here aren't actual beer judges so to each their own there, but I review in the style category and I found this brew to be an exceptional example of an English Strong Ale.

My "overrated" brews:
Switchback Ale - -28% (2.6), I just dont' get it, Switchback tastes like "blerch" to me, I'd rather have a PBR.
Knee Deep Brewing Company - Hop Shortage - -23.3% (3.06), this one just didn't do it for me, wasn't a fan, more and more I'm finding mediocrity in the sea of IIPAs, I guess that's the downside to trying so many.
Magic Hat - Blind Faith - -19.7% (2.86) - I don't have a taste for English hops for one, then you mix in this weird bitter apricot and too much breadiness, this is just meh to me, at least #9 is crisp.

 

Michelob Light +64.4%(3.6)
Keystone Premium +51.4% (2.8)
Budweiser +45.9% (3.4)

 

It really wasn't that bad, just a bit generic. The Olde English rating probably came after a game of Edward Fortyhands, as that's the last time I can think of where I would even have had malt liquor.

 

Highest
1. Saison Rue +21.4% Freakin' love that stuff!
2. Founders Dirty Bastard +17.3% Just a great beer! One of my favorite scotch ales.
3. Bourbon Barrell Wee Mac +16% Another great example of a scotch ale.

(I didn't realize that I liked scotch ales so much, but apparently I do. I also think Scotty Karate and Wulver are great beers as well.)

Lowest
1. Red Ale - Orlando Brewing Partners -51.8% Just an awful beer...
2. Beachside Porter - Florida Beer Company -39% Horrible. When I think of beaches, I think of Florida Porters.
3. Lips of Faith - Pluot -37.5% Had it on tap at a bar and it reminded me of rotten fruit.

 

This irritates me as well. Why do people who admit to not liking IPAs choose to rate them poorly? I don't care for sours, but when I do drink them (which is rarely), I either don't rate them or rate them for what they are - not what I think they should be.
