tried out 2 new beers last night

1. Boulevard's Tank 7 - holy shit, that's delicious, great rendition of a Belgian white
2. Southern tier pumpking - heavy on the nutmeg or something, but one of the better pumpkin beers I've had

after 4 beers I had a very solid buzz on, but that's ok they are 8% abv

Had some Lagunitas IPA last night. VERY good. I've had it before, but I forgot just how good it is. Even my wife ordered one, and she hates IPAs.

Also had 75th St. Brewery IPA. Not very good, IMO. Wasn't very hoppy, but didn't have any other flavors in it, either. Tasted sorta watery.

It's a terrible Belgian white, mostly because it doesn't try one bit to be a witbier. It's a ****ing fantastic Saison, though.

Crown Valley's Barnwood Blonde...awesome, just awesome.

Which one? They have 2 IPAs. One of them is like you describe. But the other one is awesome.

Good Hope IPA - meh

Summit St. IPA - ****in A Delicious! Very complex.

The problem is that the Summit St. is only available in limited quantities so it's not on the menu all the time.

Sorry, it was the Good Hope.

I've got it down here in the DFW area. You ship me a 6 pack of FreeState Oatmeal Stout, and I'll ship you the Kona Porter.

This.

I've been milking the shit out of the case I bought last month. Think I have 13 left.

Sam Adams Black and Brew coffee stout is really good. The first Chocolate Bock I had a few days ago was kind of 'meh', but this one is delicious.

Speaking of fantastic Saison's, have you tried North Coast Brewings Merle? Freaking great!

!! ****ing DEAL.

I've got a bottle of it in my fridge now, coincidentally.

Also, I really love how a beer trade just went down in this thread. Makes me happy.

Tried some new IPAs tonight.

Boulevard Double Wide IPA - It's been so long since I had this, I'd forgotten what it was like. I enjoyed it, but it pales in comparison to the Lagunitas.

Green Flash Brewing Co. (CA) Hop Head Red -- Red IPA. I didn't like it. Too bitter for me. If you enjoy reds, though, you'll probably enjoy it.

Green Flash Brewing Co. (CA) West Coast IPA -- Mediocre IPA. Not enough taste, and slightly acidic.

Breckenridge Brewey (CO) - Lucky U IPA -- Second best I've had all week. Not too bitter, with a good amount of flavor.

Can't really say that I LOVED any of them. Nothing like the Free State IPA or the Lagunitas (I seriously spoiled my taste buds with that one). Any of these are worth a drink, but I can't see anyone adopting them as a favorite beer or anything.

I've been on an IPA kick as of late as well. I'm really loving the Avery as my goto.

Maybe you got an old bottle of West Coast IPA? I've never heard someone say that it lacked taste.
