can't believe you weren't sold on Titan IPA! lol that is possibly my favorite IPA, and one of my favorite beers of any style. Just an idea, maybe try to research what ingredients/methods were used in making each beer (I know it can be tough, Great Divide does not reveal what it uses for Titan), just to give a little context to what you are saying. Well done though, and good choices for reviewing the IPA style.
Don't exactly know how efficient it is to compare them one by one after just a sip of water, but it doesn't seem the most efficient way to gauge them against one another.
No doubt! I live about 10 minutes from the Bell's brewery so i get to indulge fairly often haha. P.S. If you haven't checked out Bell's Oberon already you should do so.
As I said in your other post, lets see your videos. Oh wait you haven't uploaded any! Don't insult what your unwilling to do, put up or shut up. Especially because we do this free of charge at our own expense. Don't watch I could care less!
Once again, your right I should not have insulted fellow beer advocates. Although I feel your reviews could be improved by not just describing the hops as piney/citrus/resin yet try to pinpoint what variety was used, bittering & aromatic. And dont just say that it is balanced because you taste malt, what type of malt. Were the beers bottle conditioned, or dry hopped...you get the point, just a little constructive criticism, not tryin to be a hater, have fun
That's where the "India" part of the name came from LOL! I'm not lying! IPA's are good - its just that people developed a taste for it. There's nothing wrong with that!
not a big fan of ipa's - they used to put extra hops in the beer to keep in fresh on the way to India. It wasn't really supposed to taste good - just to not get the Brits sick. Funny how people appreciate the bitter taste of it today.
I know you guys are doing a good job KUDOS!...but...it seems kinda stilted...maybe go for less nervous more casual...but that will come with time...also, seems kinda rushed...I don't know if that is a factor with YouTube but...
im from outside downingtown...try the weisbier, old horizontal or storm king by victory..btw thumbs down to your vid....hater. jk. drink on beer lovers.
To be honest, this may have been an unfair rating for the Victory IPA. The other 3 we got from an excellent shop where we know everything is fresh. For the victory we had to drive out of state to a place we are not as familiar with, so it may not have been as fresh. While there were no "off" indications, the aroma hops are usually the first thing to go on a beer, and the aroma on this was poor at best.
We'll give it another try, and man, Storm King is an awesome brew too.
Ryan (the guy on the left): I have had Stone's and Bear Republic's IPA's and yes they deserve a place of honor. We plan on doing a second IPA tasting very soon. We limit our beers to 4 to give each a fair taste without blowing out our taste buds. But we will try to keep tasting some great beers. Thanks for watching!
I've had 3 of the 4 but Bell's Two Hearted Ale is consistently one of the best hoppy IPA's I've tried. A taste test isn't complete without an offering from Stone's, Lagunitas, Surly Furious and Bear Republic, however.
Punk IPA from Scotland BrewDog is the best IPA I have try so far. I am not really into IPA much they really don't do anything for me

I just saw your video where you made an IPA. I was hoping to see your beer as one of the beers you taste along side the store-bought beers.

What the hell? Victory owns, it's better than the Titan IPA. But yeah, Bell's is always amazing.
