theprotester Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 That's about as far as I can go with the high ABV stuff from BD. Even the Tokyo is very hot. Nice beer though, amazing head colour and retention for a beer of that pace. Fucking meal worthy though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anything goes Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 we split a 12oz bottle 3 ways which helped. I'm not a huge fan of cellaring beers but I think the age took some of the heat away. Overall it was a surprisingly subtle beer for 18.2% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist 666 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 i had a founders zythos ipa last night. did not enjoy at all. almost a soapy taste in it. maybe somebody else will do something more interesting with the hop, but meh. not excited about it.

the gogohead Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Good to know, I've never been disappointed with Founders beers. I was drinking double trouble and red rye on draft the other night. good shit. Any body had Sixpoint beers? Bengali Tiger and Autumnation are the only ones I've tried so far, I'd drink both of them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 same, i've enjoyed founders in the past, but this wasn't for me. about zythos Introducing, ZYTHOS The third and final release form Hopunion tells of yet another new variety that they will soon breed and offer brewers. They explain that the demand for “unique IPA style hops” is as strong as ever and that varieties like Simcoe, Amarillo, Citra, and Palisade have been very successful for them. The need for a new and exciting hop that “replicates the chemical structure of the finest IPA/Pale Ale finishing hops” is needed. Hopunion worked with Alpha Analytics to create a hop that “delivers aggressive alpha acid levels, balanced beta acid levels and low co-Humulone levels for a smooth finish”. The new hop is called ZYTHOS and is named after the traditional Greek word for beer. The target alpha and beta percentages are 9.4 and 5.5 respectively. I can’t wait to see what our local brewers come up with to display the unique characteristics of this hop. I have a strong sense that it’s going to impress the hop lovers amongst us.

eviltrailer77 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Had the Ruthless Rye last nite, had not tried a rye beer before and wont be having any in the future. Tasted like a hardcore IPA that had gotten warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethinglikethat Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Made my way down to Brooklyn this week and got to try some goodies. This was pretty solid all around, But I have to say it was among the best looking beers I've ever had. It had the best head and head retention I have ever seen. This was excellent, pretty sour, and pleasantly skunked. This was pretty decent too. The story behind it made it excellent, without the story, it would still be pretty ok.

serum Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 grand teton brewing co sweetgrass american pale ale this is my second beer from grand teton. I liked the bitch creek and this one is great as well. If anyone has ever had stuff from these guys let me know which ones I should be looking for I can probably get them to order it.

eviltrailer77 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Grand Teton is a solid brewery. The tail wagging IPA is good, but where they shine is the limited releases. The trout hop black IPA was absolutely amazing, and their pursuit of hoppyness was pretty fucking nice too. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
