I've been wanting to try that Ruination Ale. Tom seems pretty high on the Dogfish Head as well. I'd be very curious to know what you think of them.
I called in sick today and cracked open my mini keg of Kulmbacher Pils. Pretty good. Very herbal, fine bitterness, fine carbonation (can't stand beers with big bubbles), nice malt body, but not quite as huge and toothy as my dream beer - Kulmbacher Reichelbrau.
Speaking of "want", anybody watch "Survivor"? I'm bummed they voted out Dolly - she was absolutely smokin'.

People still watch Survivor, that carefully-orchestrated, over-produced monstrosity specifically designed to shut off the cognitive portions of your brain?!?!

Yeah, I know. Don't know why I watch it. The only other stuff I watch is CSI, the news and college football. A guy can be excused for one weakness, eh?

Alright then.....back on topic:
(You can take that survivor stuff to some less important thread!)

I've got a 90 minute IPA poured for myself here, and my thoughts are as follows...

A nice golden amber, slighty off-white head, fine carbonation, a decent amount of lacing in the glass. The nose is definately cascade hops(I suspect dry hopped with it, the bottle says it's dry hopped but doesn't list which hops), but less so than something like Victory hop devil. The flavor is pretty tough to describe, there's a lot going on in this beer. First, for something that clocks in at 9% ABV, this beer doesn't pack the alcohol whallop one would expect. Don't get me wrong, the alcohol is certainly there, but it's buried underneath so much hops, toasted and crystal malt that you don't really notice it. For me, the first sip is an explosion of hops, piney and citrusy. That fades to a kind of thick sweetness, balanced out by a tremdous amount of bittering hops and a distict malt undertone. Halfway through a bottle, the alcohol content begins to make itself known by a very faint warming of the throat and chest as it goes down. The aftertaste is reminicent of grapefruit, and lingers seemingly forever. I have a feeling I'll be tasting this beer untill I brush my teeth and go to bed tonight.
