Lagunitas A Little Sumpin' Wild
Beau's Bog Father
Lagunitas is amazing, but those guys know their hops so it's not that surprising. The Beau's is surprising because it has no hops (or a minimal amount at best), but still has a nice floral/herbal bitterness. Very interesting beer - reminds me of something Dogfish Head would try.

Is yeasty and young a good thing? Perhaps just impressive given their age! I've enjoyed the flavour of this beer since I bought them, though I only drink one every 3-4 months or so. Look forward to see how they age over the next few years.Torontoblue wrote:Had one on Sunday night, and it's still amazingly yeasty and young.lagerale wrote:Thomas Hardy 2007

It wasn't a good thing for me. I'll revisit these in a few years time.lagerale wrote:Is yeasty and young a good thing? Perhaps just impressive given their age!

That's a pretty good committed relationship! I take it you've had some bottles from 2006 or earlier?? I find cellaring beers a little frustrating, because I'm never sure when they've reached maximum potential (something that would likely vary from person to person). Maybe I'll slow down tastings to once every 6 months....markaberrant wrote:I stand by the belief that Thomas Hardy's needs at least 5 years of aging before consuming.Torontoblue wrote:It wasn't a good thing for me.

The THA definitely won't have a quick peak that you have to worry about missing out on. Its far slower to change than something like the St. Ambroise Vintagelagerale wrote:That's a pretty good committed relationship! I take it you've had some bottles from 2006 or earlier??
