I tend to switch what I'm drinking after one beer. Mix it up. Maybe get 2 a row of something. Haven't bought a six pack and then drink in straight through in maybe 10 years until I put down a Pivo six pack a couple weeks ago. I love a good pilsner and pivo kicks ###. It took a couple hundred years, but America can finally make good pilsners. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coeur de Lion 4,904 Posted May 14, 2017 Victory Prima is another outstanding American pils if you guys are looking for one. And I agree -- good pilsners are perfect summer beers. Oberon here today, another great refreshing lawnmower beer. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It absolutely is a NE IPA (I have had several Michigan beers tat advertised as NE and were just dank, but no haze). This look, smells and feels right. It's just lacking in punch. It's very mild and needs either more sweetness like M43 or more hop punch like Boxer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coeur de Lion 4,904 Posted May 14, 2017 Didn't crack the Biere de Mars yesterday, just dove in a few minutes ago. Damn. Well done Jolly Pumpkin. Somehow I hadn't tried this one before -- back to Whole Foods tomorrow to load up. Just outstanding -- tart without being a lacto-bomb, funky, dry, and complex AF. Blind tasting this, I'd bet an awful lot of $ that it was from a several hundred year old Belgian brewery. Really effing good. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wish I had tried it years ago, it just really hits the mark for my palate (I can't handle tons of lactic acid in a sour). Damn near perfect for me -- and I'm coming recently off of some big guns from Hill Farmstead, so for this to make me sit up the way it did is really impressive.

I personally love well done NE IPAs -- but also West Coast IPAs, and saisons, and pilsners, and APAs, and a slew of other crystal clear styles. Judging a beer solely based on "is it hazy?" is silly. The haziness is actually the least important factor IMO. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
