IDBillzFan Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 At competitions, you have water and crackers to help cleanse the palate, but you will experience "palate fatigue" on the higher-hopped beers. 660835[/snapback] I haven't suffered from "palate fatigue" in years, and to be honest, it made her happy and was not near as terrible a problem as restless leg syndrome.

There is another guy that tells us brushing his teeth makes his Hoegaarden taste funny. I can't stand him either, but in the end we are all there for each other, and that's what counts.

HtownBillsFan Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Bought a 12 pack of the Saranac Summer Beers, the Belgian Wheat beer was nice and so wasnt the Hefeweizen. Summer ale was ok and so wasnt the Mountain Ale. Havent tried the Kolsh? or the Pilsener. Let you know later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Paulson Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Well, let's keep things Canadian and say, basically any beer by this brewery: http://www.unibroue.com/english.cfm These three are usually pretty easy to find, in my experience: Maudite http://www.unibroue.com/products/maudite.cfm Trois Pistoles http://www.unibroue.com/products/3pistoles.cfm and Fin du Monde http://www.unibroue.com/products/fin.cfm I like Fin du Monde, but recommend you start with Maudite. 660108[/snapback] i second this recommendation- Fin du Monde!!!!

Chilly Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Oh Lord. Some friends in real life recommended Dog Fish, and I picked up a 4-pack of the 90-minute beer. It tasted freaking nasty. Time for a mexican coke to get the aftertaste out of my mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFH 90 is definitely not a beer you should try to introduce yourself to craft beer. At the very least you should have tried a regular IPA first (like DFH 60) to see if you even enjoy those. Stylistically speaking, there are not many IIPA's better than DFH 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason why I went with the 90-minute is because thats what one of my coworkers said that was really good. I tasted it and I was like good god thats nasty, haha.

Hirly5 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Have any of you had Lake Placid Ubu? It was pretty good. The tap handle was a big dog bone. When I lived in Rochester, I lived across the street from JB Quimbys at Winton and Jefferson. They always had good beer on tap. Every month they would switch it up. They let you keep the Beer of the Month pint glass every Wednsday. I miss that place. Another beer I enjoy is Anchor Steam - Anchor Porter. One beer that is horrible is Ithaca Nut Brown.

I understand where the "90" in 90 minute comes from. What does the "minute" refer to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand where the "90" in 90 minute comes from. What does the "minute" refer to? 662178[/snapback] The 90 is actually for 90 minutes. They add hops every minute during a 90 minute wort boil, this results in a smooth bitterness and intense hop flavor / aroma. This is different in that usually beers are just hopped discretely at a few time points during the boil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of BiB Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 To stray a bit, but I had no idea until watching a show the other day that bourbon actually starts off as beer. As much as I enjoy a good bourbon, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's just coincidence that the 60 minute is 60 IBU and the 90 minute is 90 IBU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Real Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Sam Adams Cherry Wheat, RedStripe or the trainwreck ale at Pearl Street. All are pretty good. T_R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The length of the boil does not determine IBU's. Only the addition of hops and when they are added determines the IBU's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Any Heffewiessen (unfiltered wheat beer) with a slice of lemon. Harpoon UFO or Widmer are good examples. Newcastle Brown goes down smooth. Nothing like a Yuengling Lager ice cold from the draught. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerme1 Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I currently only really drink Blue Light...I will try to sample all beers up here and report back with my thoughts... 659974[/snapback] Well since you like blue light, and the american version at that, I suggest warm urine in a bottle for you. No doubt your favorite drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRC Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 question..where do I get these beers? 662864[/snapback] You can find a lot of them (at least the imports) at Premier on Delaware Ave. The microbrews may be more difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
