Re: Some interesting beers for the travellers to look for
Well, Chalmers was good enough to bring back the dubbel from a road trip, and we had a taste out at John and Anita's. It was not good. Even if the price was $4.99 (which it certainly was not), I don't think there was value in this beer. It was like a watered-down version of a dubbel, and there wasn't much 'richness' to it.

Re: Ovila was not good
Last time I do something nice for you people!
Yes, I was quite disappointed too. I didn't get much of anything from it, and would be surprised if more cellaring time did anything for it. And I don't think there was anything wrong with my bottle handling, but could be wrong.

Re: Ovila was not good
Reminded me of the DeRanke XX Kai lugged back from Belgium for me. It was so awful...I wouldn't drop another $20 to find out if it was just a bad bottle.

I didn't think it was bad or anything, just nothing terribly special. I'd certainly drink it again but won't be looking for it.

Yeah, exactly: not bad, but nothing going on.

Re: Ovila was not good
I thought it was crappy. I wouldn't have finished that bottle. But that's me.

You could at least start a thread about the jackass that brought the infected bottle of hefeweizen

I thought we rebranded that as really great Berliner Weisse...
