zkom Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I spent last night drinking this, which is an ok IPA. I spent last month mostly drinking this. Well, it's not bad. It's 5.4% and comes in a 0.65l bottle which is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echolalia Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Found this at a Sainsbury's in Manchester for 75p a bottle, quaffed 15 bottles last night with a few mates. Strong (6.3%) beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olo Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Pretty damn good. Nice & aged which mellowed this beast out. pretty good, bit too sweet meh, kinda alright, had better. But this was after the first 2, which probably ruined it a bit. Awesome DIPA. perfect for the summer. Refreshing as hell. love it Pretty dank. in a good way.

spratters Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I need to get down to Tesco. Apparently a lot of the large ones have large selections of craft beers in now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olo Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Very hop forward pale ale. Little light in body. It's high ratings are probably justified. A bitch to procure if not in Illinois/Indiana. pretty damn good imperial red. Not a big red ale guy...but this one is solid as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kenneth172 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Anyone tried Quaffing Gravy? Great Yorkshire ale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhonny Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Seen this in a few shop and bars in town so thought I'd try a bottle. Tastes like piss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest A/D Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Dark Horse Crooked Tree IPA - floral/fruity at the beginning and a long delicious hoppy aftertaste. I was impressed. Bell's Kalamazoo Stout: Well-balanced. I'm starting to like stouts that are rich but not super-heavy. This is one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghOsty Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I'll probably crack open my bottle of last year's Surly Darkness I've been letting age soon, hopefully I can get my hands on this years brew... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoggy Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 This one was not bad for how much it costs, had trouble drinking the whole 2 litres though. Glug glug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhonny Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 nice bottle. how did it taste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremymacgregor87 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 it was nice, very bubbly but it kept a lot of the smooth, caramel malt taste. Bit of a dry, alcoholic finish to it. I guess I'd call it more of a belgian abbey style ale than the wheat/dunkel you'd expect from wehenstephan I also have these in the fridge ready to go: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR4 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 damn i wanna try that voodoo doughnut so bad. I got tired of drinking shit local beer and ponied up for a Three Philosophers Quad Ale....and to be honest, it didn't taste as good as I had remembered....maybe my tastes are changing again?

Boxus Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Pretty dank. in a good way. I WANT THIS! Got some of Sierra Nevada's new fall seasonal Flipside, and it is really good. One of their best, srsly real good. It reminds me of Heretic's Evil Twin, another hoppy red ale I love, which I recommend to anyone in the bay area who might see it around.

I think Three Philosophers needs some time in the cellar (or on the shelf). It's always been a fairly mild, easy drinker IMO though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of their best, srsly real good. It reminds me of Heretic's Evil Twin, another hoppy red ale I love, which I recommend to anyone in the bay area who might see it around. This Greenflash was decent. Was waiting a long time for them to come to Michigan. To be honest, the ones I tried were good, but middle of the pack for the most part. I got some Flipside Red IPA. I've really enjoyed it. Never been big on reds, as stated in prior posts, but I've been coming around. Although SN hopped it up more than the style typically does. Again, Nosferatu from Great lakes is serious quality if you come by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baph Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I had some Ballast Point Sculpin the other night, probably the definitive San Diego California IPA (standard, not DIPA). Very well balanced between malts and aggressive hops. Tons of grapefuit/citrus/floral/pine notes, but with a lot of delicate complexity. Even a bit of honeydew melon or mango or sommat, but not even remotely cloying, how the hell does that even...? Would drink frequently, even at $15 for sixer. But it's hard to find even as far north as Los Angeles. Not sure how well it travels (I think the answer is it doesn't), but the canned version I grabbed was very fresh. This stuff is growing so fond in my memory that I might blow my credibility if I keep going on about it. Way up there, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxus Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Also got a pack of these that's almost finished: Very tasty stuff. A little too heavily spiced IMO, but very drinkable considering the ~8% abv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
