This is why I ignore the special Schneider stuff at PG now, we have great luck in getting it here, and at a good price.PeenSteen wrote:Schneider Weisse Tap X Mathilde Soleil

Since SNPA has a 150 day shelf life, this was bottled at the end of May.DeMarco wrote:I hope so too, I noticed another shipment of SNPA is in stores with an OCT date. I'm guessing week olds won't happen but maybe 3 week olds...
Although the Nickelbrook Naughty Neighbour is marketed as a Pale and not a Session IPA, its as hoppy as most IPAs, extremely thirst quenching but with good body, and only 4.9% which I think fits the definition of a session by a noseboney wrote:Couln't agree more with both of you. I like hops as much as the next guy and I prefer my hopy beers to have a dry crackery malt base, but I almost feel that for hops to shine they need a minimum amount of subtle sweetness backing them up that, for whatever reason, doesn't exist in low ABV hoppy beers. IMO, despite smelling great, ISA's come off as less than the sum of their parts, having less hop flavor than I'd expect given the hopping regimen and especially lacking that "juicy" mouthfeel that I crave in a hopy beer. Although Malt is more of a key ingredient in beer than salt is in cooking, I equate the non-existant malt profiles in most ISA's to underseasoning food.Craig wrote:I agree completely. Even the best ISA I've ever had has just tasted like a watery IPA. They're fine and all, but I've never had one and not thought how much I'd rather just have a real IPA.midlife crisis wrote:I'd say yes, especially for these thin gruel, C-hop dominated varieties of "session IPA" that appear to be in vogue. None of them comes anywhere close to being as satisfying as a well made English-style bitter in the same ABV range, at least for my money. Trying to think of an Ontario example. Neustadt Mill Gap Bitter perhaps? That long-lamented Scotch-Irish beer fit the bill perfectly, for a couple of years.
EDIT: others I have liked better than any of the ISA's, at 4% or less ABV (though admittedly not pale ales, just saying these tend to be more satisfying even at low ABV): GLB Simple Porter, Neustadt Ever Ard Mild, Barley Days Shucker Paddy Oyster Stout.
A nice bitter, or even a mild, is more my style if I want something low-ABV.
waayyyyyyyyy more exciting than the fall releasePeenSteen wrote:Schneider Weisse Tap X Mathilde Soleil

End of July, really? I was in Victoria at the end of June and the Phillips version was already out. The intent was that this was supposed to be a Canada day collaboration beer.skootles wrote:Any idea when this one is gonna hit the shelves? I only heard "end of july". Maybe when I'm in Vancouver soon I can pick up a bottle of the Phillips one.PeenSteen wrote: Flying Monkeys Coast To Coastless

Yeah, that's why I asked. But this seems like the less common version. If there's one chalice to get it's this one and they are so pricey to buy online with shipping.BakaGaijin wrote:Found this:Lukie wrote:PeenSteen wrote:Schneider Weisse Tap X Mathilde Soleil

No biggie, all 3 Rochefort 6 8 10 beers are made with the identical grain bill, only the proportion of water varies so it takes little imagination to understand the 6 is lighter than the 8.biegaman wrote:Unfortunately we will no longer be seeing the Rochefort gift pack
(Something to do with prices...)
Some consolation, however - the Rochefort 10 is now a permanent general listing
) should know the Rochefort 10 is considered just about as great as Westy, in blind tastings some think it's better. Plus it's a quarter of the going price; like Orval, Roche 10 an absolute steal here.
