What's everyone drinking?

[chalmers]

Thanks guys. It was huge for me - I did it part time while working full time and so it took me nearly a decade, although the writeup was mostly in 2014.
It's on lobster physiology. Just the viva left before I get to wear the funny hat.

Congrats, John!

Didn't meld well. Green hops and almost cleaner flavour, very bitter.

I got the cleaner flavor, but felt it was from the hops.. a lemony type of flavor.

[Keith]

I personally wouldn't call it a cleaner flavor, but taste what your talking about, kind of reminds me of a lemon peel. But what mainly gets me is the high bitterness, really kills the beer. Altho as I keep drinking it my taste buds adjusted and it's starting to become more drinkable.

The reason I liked it was actually because of the opposite - I perceived much lower bitterness than their usual IPA, found it quite nice.

It's funny, the variance we're seeing on this beer. I didn't find it overly bitter, or low on bitterness. I did find they focused more on the late hops than they normally do..the late hopping is what I thought made this better than their other hoppy beers. I do still think that it needs to dry out though - not sure if it's due to crystal malt, or poor fermentation.

I wonder if the sweetness you had took away from the bitterness and as you said poor fermentation. Wondering if it dried up in the kegs?
or is it possible you drank something previous that killed your taste buds that would have left you perceiving this beer as hoppy?

Also according to untappd, I was looking through the list of comments, and they are all over the map as well.

I've tried it a couple of times. Nash and I shared a couple of growlers that had been filed at the Prop Shop 20 minutes earlier. Also had it at Stillwell this evening. I do think that there were some fermentation issues (flavor for sure, and possibly FG - definitely found it sweet). When Nash and I had some, I hadn't had anything else before it, however, I found the sweetness was more obvious as the beer warmed up.

[Keith]

not getting that here. I got mine filled from Dartmouth, but I think it's all the same batch.

Just for the record where did everyone get their supply of the fly time? We got a growler from burnside

Keith, You joined Brewnosers 3 months after me and you are getting dangerously close to my number of posts. May the best man win.

That's one more post

We might be both a bit obsessed

[Keith]

Wife's turn to go out, so I'm home alone with 2 sleeping kids.

Congrats man , must be a huge relief

My defense is scheduled in April, can't wait to be done.

Awesome! Good luck with your defence. Mine will likely be in March and I feel the same way - can't wait to be done.
We'll have to get together for some beers to celebrate after both are finished up.

I tried it at Stillwell and gave it a 3 on Untappd, I found it grainy and the bitterness unbalanced.

[canuck]

Got these from a buddy in Ontario that recently returned from Palm Springs. He tried to score some Pliny for me but he said it was virtually impossible. Anyways, he got me these and they'll be my first time trying anything from Russian River. Looking forward to sampling!

Did I hear you say the last batch was being rebranded to BoxToffee IPA last night?
