Yeah, some just taste 'dirty', and way too woody. Some taste sweet which is hard to explain. Some seem overpowered by the wood and remnant liquor. *shrug* But I've had some really outstanding ones too. I'm still on the hunt. Drink on!

Ok some new faves...
Cut of the Leaf: Centennial is in the glass... and it's AWESOME!
Their Amber Ale is fantastic.
Viridi Rex Double India Pale Ale also delish!
Ol' Puffery, their English Pale Ale, I love pale ales, but this one is the least of the 4.

Hop Raider IPA. It has a rather complex flavor for a hoppy concoction. If you can find it, give it a try.
On their website, they mention they use stone fruit in it. That has to be a big part of the flavor.
ABV: 8.1 - IBU: 43 - Hops: Chinook, Citra, Galaxy, Nelson Sauvin, Pahto, and Sabro - Malt: Pale, Caramel, and Honey
EDIT: Part of the reason I commented that stone fruit is playing a large role in the flavor is because I bought some glass jarred coffee (Super Coffee?) that stone fruit was used as an additive and major flavor. That coffee tasted like it was filtered through a 20 year old pair of running shoes. BLEECH!!! But the caffeine did help. I could drink a heck of a lot less of it than I would of a more restrained coffee, but the stone fruit flavor was, well, nasty. (To me) But the slight stone fruit flavor in this oat soda actually plays well with the sweet and bitter flavors of the hops used. *shrug* I have just been thinking of my experience with stone fruit.

Here's to the weekend! Big Cat DIPA 9% ABV. Its not as good as previous years but still a crusher
Foam Multitide of Drops DIPA 8.8% ABV. This one slaps
I've had sweet tea that I can feel the cavities developing when I drank it, but people gotta look out for some of those fruity IPAs. They make an angel food cake look like a dog biscuit. Some are incredibly really way too sweat, but the hops is why I drink them. Just realize they are diet killers. Moderation...
Like Hop Raider. Sweet...
It’s not in until 12.30am in the UK
. It’ll be a catch up of the highlights later in the week I think. Enjoy the beer 
Oh man, this ones a winner at 12% ABV
I assume this is a takeoff of Ideocracy: 'Brawndo, the thirst mutilator!' (Crazy movie, and so timely for the past who knows how many years. (Ever since I hit puberty?))
But Brawndo has electrolytes!
The Thirst Mutilator is hard to come by here, but I bought it on a lark. It's pretty citrus and lime, not much hops, sadly...

It’s my class ring from Bitburg American high school. My little brother and I send each other pictures of our beers. I wasn’t sure he’d ever seen my class ring since we’re six years apart.
Man I miss Germany; born and raised in Stuttgart. We moved to the states before I entered high school. I went to Stuttgart Elementary/Junior High on Robinson Barracks. I think my oldest brother went to the high school on Patch Barracks
I was born in Bitburg. went to elementary school at Hahn AFB and high school at Bitburg AFB. both have been closed for quite sometime now. I too miss Germany.
My dad was stationed in Giesen for a few years, so the fam spent some time there, but I was way to young to be able to remember any of it, sadly. The parental units loved to talk about my experiences in Germany. I loved beer (still do). I was frustrated because the light switches were what seemed like half way up the wall. I had friends from all over the area, and had learned much of their languages to talk and play. We had a GSD, and a Volkswagen, and hung out at the beer halls. They used to talk about it all with such emotion and fond feelings. I wondered why they didn't move back when he retired. The only memories of the whole thing are being on a plane and losing most of my small cars in the seats somehow. I sure wish I could remember more of that. The human mind is amazing, and sometimes it's just a deep hole. Freudian? Who knows. They were pretty abusive as human beings.
But they especially loved telling about how when I got 'stateside', I played with every light switch I could because I could finally reach the damn things.
Playing with switches hasn't gone away either. HAH!And still like beer... Some things change, and...
