@CBA i've always heard it as a rumor-y big name kinda thing, and where i'm from its the same price as delerium. i agree with you about their IPAs, but i wasn't really wowed by their punk'n ale. pumking 4 lyf

the best IPAs don't go for OMG WERE HOPZ they just make a GOOD beer. case in point: Hopslam, White Raja, and Two Hearted.

Pumking is good, but 2011's tasted like a big bottle of nutmeg. The second one I had I enjoyed, but I didn't even finish the first one I bought. 2010's was much more balanced.

Haven't had White Raja (what brewery is that?), but you're totally right about Hoplam and Two Hearted. With a name like Hopslam, it's surprising to see that that beer is so balanced... yeah, it's hoppy, but it's equal parts hoppy and sweet, soft and full yet cutting. Two Hearted is the supreme example of what a good American IPA should be. Nothing about that beer sticks out annoyingly... it's just delicious and hearty, pun straight intended.

Then you try something like Avery's Maharaja Imperial IPA, and geez... it's JUST hops.

I'll never get tired of American IPAs... I just need that bite.

Mad. No. Are you trying to profess you personal preference as some type of expert knowledge?

No hate in the beer thread people. Let's get our buzz on, a'ight?

Last night: Left Hand Milk Stout (om NOM NOM) and a Left Hand Stranger (their American Pale Ale, which was pretty pleasant).

Tonight: Leinenkugel Nut Brown thingymajigger. No real recollection of impression - I was just havin' a beer.

[SPACERITUAL]

personally i think La Fin Du Monde is more hyped than Delerium, and its priced about the same, or more expensive.

CLEARLY TAKING CRAFT BEER 101 PAID OFF.

Drinking a pretty generic IPA right now the name of which I cannot remembers. Twas great whilst enjoying Louis CK live at the Beacon Theatre.

Got some fuckin' cheese to go along with it... Robusto, Parmesean Reggiano, and some kind of cow/sheep/goat's milk hybrid.
