Sierra Nevada's Torpedo IPA is good.

it's good... but i prefer their normal IPA ... torpedo is like their super IPA and it tastes bad when it warms up even a little.

[baseline bum]

went to central market and picked this up a couple days ago. easily one of the best beers ive ever had. it leaves this awesome flavor on your tongue for about 5 seconds after it goes down. well worth the 18 bucks and change it costs for a 6 pack.

also picked up a blind monkey, and sierra nevada bigfoot.... those are more for just getting ed up cuz they're both around 10%... the ruination is more for just enjoying it.

I'm a big fan of the Bigfoot ale too. Tastes almost like a cross between Arrogant Bas Ale and Ruination IPA.

Torpedo is their only full time production IPA. I like IPAs as they warm up though. The Pale Ale is the most consistent beer i have ever had - rarely varies, and you can get it in most bars . Tho Stone IPA has been cropping up downtown in Austin in bottles for $3.50 - i have been gravitating to those places. My Stone IPA clone i have made 4 versions of has rounded into form quite nicely, i need to start a new batch. You guys should check out Racer 5 if it's available in SA.

I think most beers tend to taste better as they warm a bit. Being ice cold dulls the flavor IMO.

The darker the beer is, the more I try to drink it around cellar temp (65 degrees-ish). Drinking beer too cold ruins the nose.

I'd like beer a lot more if it didn't taste so much like beer.

You should drink DosXX or Corona then.

I don't want it to taste like beer flavored water, either.

WTF is that? I have spent an unhealthy amount of time researching wine. But I love wine. And researching.

It all depends on tastes. I don't like bitter, hoppy beer so I prefer lagers and lighter colored beers. I'll even go for the irish reds if they're brewed well, but I almost always prefer lagers.

I think we went to Hops college that one time we went to Sea World. Seriously.



Anyway, I hate stouts. Meh @ that . I don't like just pale ales because I can drink stuff like New Castle and be perfectly at home but stouts are just too much.

Oh , you're right. Maybe I blocked that.

I don't like my beer ice cold. Not crazy about dark beers and I don't know how to describe how a beer tastes like other beer connoisseurs do. $18 for a six-pack?

People pay more for the things they enjoy. Don't you pay more than bottom dollar for weed? Is there anything you're not a cheap-o for?

This thread is too high class for me.


And here I thought I was splurging when I ordered a Budweiser select......

There are a few things but I'm the kind of guy who doesn't need to spend more to enjoy things. For me sitting around with friends drinking a beer is fine and I don't need more expensive beer to enjoy it any more because it is my friends who make it a good time. I had a great time at the Spurs game on Saturday sitting up in section 228 and while sitting in a suite would have been better it would not have made the game any better. And no, I won't pay high dollar for smoke. But yeah, I admit that if I do see something that I really like and want I spend baby!!!
