      why would anyone want more Sue ?

       

      Why !

      Good Bad & The Monkey

        A1 once opened my fridge and saw a bottle of Sue. Pissed him off so much that he destroyed my whole fucking house. Using the hill behind the house. Bad. Ass.


        Feeling the growl again

           I need to start writing this shit down.

           

          Untappd.  WhoDat corrupted me.

            I'm on there too.  Problem is that they are designed more for real time.  I do not have an iPhone or anything like that which means that I have to check in my beers later.  I am not very good at keeping up with that.

            Not at it at all.

              Tearing down hills, punching clowns in the throat, challenging Bigfoot on his home field. No wonder Chuck Norris calls A1 for backup.

                439. Stone IPA by Stone Brewing Co.

                 

                Speaking of Stone IPA's, my beer store has their 16th Anniversary IPA available in bombers.  OK, I will try it.

                  Peeps all over the place are talking about that one. Do you happen to have my address?

                   

                  Tho, don't kill yourself. As Jason says: "A muddled mess, somewhat tasty but way too many distractions and becomes almost too tea like or even soapy like I just walked through a The Body Shop. Over use of Amarillo with the addition of another high alpha acid hop does not work for me either. I can understand wanting to push to be different but if the pieces don't fall right then this is what you end up with."

                    You can't get it there?  Sure, I'll send you one.

                     

                    Overuse of Amarillo hops?  I did not think that was possible.  Anyway, given that review it sounds to me like the thing to do is to buy myself a couple, drink one right away and age one for a while.  I know that they say that IPA's should be had fresh but aging may help this one.  Given the 10% I would think that there is enough malt behind all of that other stuff to allow for aging.

                      Perhaps I am terminally unsophisticated, but every time I read a beer review like this I think "Dude, it's BEER.  Not French wine.  Like it, don't like it.  Be glad it's not Busch."

                       

                      I can't even get that into it with wine.  Five rating levels on Untappd is almost too many for me to want to think about.  I just enjoy it.

                       

                      Grunt.

                            Heh. I actually gave that a 2.

                             

                            My original rating scheme -

                             

                            List is on untappd.com.

                             

                            Looks like it started with a NB Hoptober. I rate that baby 4/5 stars.

                             

                            0 stars - piss water

                            1 star - would not pay money for this, may not drink it for free

                            2 stars - would not seek this out, would drink it in a pinch

                            3 stars - an average beer, would drink it if available and would happily pay for

                            4 stars - a beer I would seek out and drink if possible

                            5 stars - a beer I would go to great ends to get ahold of and would consider world class.

                             

                            Nearly everything gets a 3 or a 4, but that is largely a selection bias.

                              Yep.  Agree with your rating scale for the most part, mine is a little different.

                               

                              0 stars - would not pay money for this, would not drink it for free

                              1 star - would not pay money for this, may drink it for free

                              2 stars - may pay money for this, definitely would drink it for free.

                              3 stars - Solid offering that I would have any time and enjoy, but would not necessarily seek out.

                              4 stars - Very enjoyable. I would have it any time and enjoy, and would seek out.

                              5 stars - World class, would go to great ends to attain.

                               

                              I have never given out a 5 but have come close.

                               

                              Dude, you seriously would give that Mango swill a 2?  That is horrible, a solid 0 on my rating scale.  I have had it once and two thirds of that was poured down the drain.  Never again.  Ever.

                              Not at it at all.

                                I am a cheap bastard, so I approve of the sentiment behind Finn's scale.

                                 

                                Can't say I formalized it that much in my mind.  Most craft beers will rate a 3-4, I do give out 5s but try to be stingy with them.  I few pop to mind which stand out of even that group.  New Glarus Chocolate Stout that DB shared at C-Rs, and Dark Lord, for example.  Most real Belgians would score a 5 in my book, maybe a few stragglers in the 4s.
