Troubadour Magma. Holy hell that was good. The smoothest, most drinkable tripel IPA I've ever had.

i agree with the sam octoberfest, i think recipe changed a bit this year. Dogfishhead Punkin....so great.
― definatelypoopsmcgee (chrisv2010), Monday, 18 October 2010 15:09 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah the dogfish punkin is far and away the best pumpkin-y beer i've ever had. the others i've had have been pretty bad, so the bar isn't too high, but I really loved the dogfish.
― tylerw, Monday, 18 October 2010 15:12 (thirteen years ago) link
of course 10-11 for a four pack is a bit steep, but again...its dogfish
― definatelypoopsmcgee (chrisv2010), Monday, 18 October 2010 15:17 (thirteen years ago) link
i know shipyard pumpkinhead is not a popular beer around strict beerists, but i love it.
― definatelypoopsmcgee (chrisv2010), Monday, 18 October 2010 15:18 (thirteen years ago) link
Agree on the DFH. It's like it is brewed with pumpkin as opposed to just squirting pumpkin flavoring in it.
― Jeff, Monday, 18 October 2010 15:21 (thirteen years ago) link
New Holland Ichabod is the only pumpkin beer I've had that didn't make me want to retch.

split a 6 of this w/my dad on saturday--definitely good stuff imo.

yes, that is some tasty brew. i dread winter though as i am yet to find a "winter warmer" i like. any suggestions?
― definatelypoopsmcgee (chrisv2010), Monday, 18 October 2010 18:30 (thirteen years ago) link
i hate all winter seasonals!
― call all destroyer, Monday, 18 October 2010 18:31 (thirteen years ago) link
sam winter is a bore; harpoon winter tastes like a christmas tree.
― call all destroyer, Monday, 18 October 2010 18:32 (thirteen years ago) link
im getting the feeling i hate winter brews too. sierra nevadas celebration ale makes me gag, a lot of my friends love it. it tastes like leather crossed with santas choad.
― definatelypoopsmcgee (chrisv2010), Monday, 18 October 2010 18:33 (thirteen years ago) link
sick! (tho i kinda like celebration when i tried it last year)
― tylerw, Monday, 18 October 2010 18:35 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah its good for maybe one or two sips and then it instantly makes me feel like i have to take a dump.
― definatelypoopsmcgee (chrisv2010), Monday, 18 October 2010 18:36 (thirteen years ago) link
celebration is sticky-sweet to me. i can have maybe one.

Tastes are tastes, and I know a person can't possibly convince another that something is "delicious" when it triggers the reactions described above, but man... I could pretty much drink Celebration every day for the rest of my life.

Was in Michigan over the weekend and had a good Saugatuck Singapore IPA.
― jaymc, Monday, 18 October 2010 19:11 (thirteen years ago) link
Also, steer clear of Bell's Oarsman, which was like drinking a Triscuit.
― jaymc, Monday, 18 October 2010 19:13 (thirteen years ago) link
(Coulda been the tap at the brewery, who knows.)
irl lol at Triscuit Ale!
I've been drinking Victory's Yakima Twilight, which is billed as a Dark IPA or a strong ale, but to me seems akin to a barleywine like Bigfoot. 8.7 ABV, so it's strong, and malty, yet with a hop finish that lasts for like 10 minutes.
I've been looking for Surly Wet, haven't tried any yet.

I like Anchor's Christmas Ale, but never so much as the first time I tried it. They do change the formula from year to year.
― nickn, Monday, 18 October 2010 20:32 (thirteen years ago) link
problem is come winter time i get stuck drinking budweiser because i dont like winter brew.
― definatelypoopsmcgee (chrisv2010), Monday, 18 October 2010 20:36 (thirteen years ago) link
any dark or brown beer does it for me in the winter. fuller's london porter or wolaver's brown ale f'rinstance.

but I'm kinda focused on autumn here guyz
im still focused on autumn beers too...just anticipating the winter beer duldrums.
so if you had to pick one lawnmower beer what would it be?
Miller High Life for me.

Winter is like the best time for beer drinkin' -- stouts and porters and all things dark and malty.
Though right now I'm loving Lagunitas A Little Sumpin' Sumpin'. Super hoppy, but more citrus/floral than aggressive bitterness.

i don't mind having ipas or more summery beers in winter, getting drunk makes me feel v warm.

winter time beer drinking must be done by my wood stove. cozy beer.

I know! they say if they sell a million cases this year, they'll reopen the RI brewery. we could use the jobs so I guess I better get started on polishing these off.
