i'll agree with that. i really like Racer 5 from them, but other than that haven't been too impressed with their stuff

too much malt is likely your first clue that you bought bottles that were old. there are IPA's on the malty side, like DFH 90 minute, but they should always pack a bunch of hops. If you notice it completely out of balance, then the bottles are likely old. I always check bottle dates on IPA's now. Many hoppy beers will have a significant decline in hops in the first 1-2 months after bottling.

if those bottles were fresh, then you just gave me a beer to avoid....thanks!

Makes it a little sweet, and I prefer my DIPA's to be more on the bitter side. Oracle sounds like it's right up my alley.

I love love love hopslam (Bells)

i also love stone ruination (West Coast Style DIPA)

if oracle is somewhere along those lines, possibly a marriage of the two, i will love it as well

of course my line of thinking could be way off...

bell's has tweeted to their 32,000 followers that constant spring will have the oracle on tap tonight

says they start at 5....spring's website says they open at 4...wondering if i should try to be there at 4...i don't want to be the guy that gets there are 5:30, orders that beer and is told "sorry, just served the last one"

Recycling isn't til next week, so i should still have the bottles/holder. I'll check when i get home if i remember.

Going up to the fabled land of ft. wayne tomorrow night for a bachelor party/chill-out. Their liquor stores are severely lacking in the craft brew variety. And i've actually read somewhere that they are one of the most disappointing city's in the midwest in terms of finding craft beer.

Its not and thank god. i hate strip clubs. I know my friend who's in charge is cooking lobster tail and i guess aside from that its mostly just chilling at his house. My friend who is getting married doesn't do too much and really isn't into anything. I got asked for non-extravagant ideas...suggested bowling or laser tag...which i don't think we're doing either.

Ah, fave version of American Baby

Michael, this 2nd Can't Stop was only slightly better than the 1st one for me (mainly because Dave's voice wasn't giving out). I really don't like the 2006 ones. Pretty lifeless. My eyes are opened to how much different/improved it is now. I didn't realize just how drastic the change has been til today.

i would be there at 4.....I saw that Bells announced that, immediately followed by the Spring announcing it.....funny how that happened.

Tried a Two Hearted yesterday. Meh. Good, not my fave.

Also had a DFH 60 minute, liked that a lot better.

Too lazy to post a full set of thoughts in here now.

I remember liking it because it might be the only version that has daves voice not crap out on it.

On tap unless I'm mistaken. Had it at a place called Yard House.

[myersk27]

that's surprising....Two Hearted is one of the most consistently rated best IPA's in the world....I think your taste buds had an off day

[rlpi100]

Might be going to Midwest Brew Fest on Saturday.

[myersk27]

Check in to your beers do I can be jealous.

[ramiro24]

Those icons are creepy as all hell. Who in the right mind would use those? Nobody would know what those are?

Can everybody do me a favor and vote for Gavit vs. Whiting?

I think his voice is spot-on on the Lakeside N3 version. That's my #2 next to fluff N1

Morning gentlemen, no back reading yay! Still on the same page I posted on yesterday evening, yay! -_-

LMAO

I love taking this 30-40 minutes I am here before everyone and using it to do no work at all, it is so peaceful. I can play music as loud as I want which is mostly what makes it so awesome.
