mackfatsoe Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 ^ have not had either of those, but I have enjoyed their IPA and the hop head red. what eees your veeeerdict? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.crooked Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Green Flash is a solid brewery. The imperial IPA I hadn't had before but was very good. I enjoyed it quite a bit. The double stout is on par if not better than Old Rasputin. Blackmetal is just a great stout. It's nice to see a few breweries really doing things in TX. Them, Southern Star, and hopefully Ranger Creek. I'm going to a tasting at a local bar this monday with side by sides of three different beers by ranger creek and their wine barrel aged versions. There's a mesquite smoked porter that's been aged for 6 months on White Oak Cabernet barrels. Should be delicious. event link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serum Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 cerise is disgusting. not trying to be an ass just suprised people like it its probably founders worst beer. i had it at a tasting and couldnt even finish a small glass of it the next worse thing that night was stiegl lemon. i have also come to the conclusion that i hate brother thelonious i love the high alcohol content but when i go from drinking one kind of beer to that it doesnt mix at all. i guess its the fruit/cherries in it.

count chocula Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 barrel aged cab stuff sounds grand. that dogfish up there was the lemon one right? if so, that's probably one of the worst kegs i've ever tasted. hopefully it was just that one batch -- for their sake.

the.crooked Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 And honestly, the Cab stuff was ok, but the Mesquite Smoked was the best one, and the lager. They are a new brewery so while they are rockin out, I think they could be a little more solid on their barrel aged. The mesquite tasted like burnt wood. IT was wonderful. Making a chili with it or having it next to a brisket would be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokstar Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Like I said, DFH is slippin. when i picked up a bottle of this (Hell Hound) i was expecting something a little like the Miles Davis Bitches Brew.. meaning something more unique. when i drank the first bottle i was disappointed.. when we spit a bottle the other night it seemed to taste much better.. the lemon was a little more evident out of a tulip and at a warmer temperature. other then that the Red & White didnt blow my mind this year and neither did the Black & Blue. Namaste is pretty boring and seems incredibly out of sorts for DFH. i did like the Squall and Chateau Jiahu tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the.crooked Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 The squall was alright. I didn't enjoy it that much. I still just prefer their indian brown, 60/90 minute and that's about it these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
