The website says 21%. Crazy! I like a good IPA, but they don't stop putting hops into that one until it's in the bottle. Talk about a hangover...

120 IBU's!! Over the top.
I've had the 90 minute and liked it very much.

Not that I wouldn't try it, mind you. Food, drink -- I'll try anything at least once.

Yep yep yep. We call it "an adventure bite" at our house.

I'm hearing good things about the St. Bernardus 12 and there's one sitting in my fridge. Sounds like I'll enjoy it. Another one that I added this week is Beersel Oude Geuze and it'll be my first gueuze.
http://www.ratebeer.com/Ratings/Beer/Beer-Ratings.asp?BeerID=10907 I recently discovered Flemish Sour Ale (Duchesse de Bourgogne) and I loved it. The only common link between the two styles is the sour part, but gueuze sounds really unique. |

On the 120 min IPA note... I can't find it anywhere. I've been looking for it for more than a year now in various places around Boston and haven't found it. I guess the next time I go to Philly I'll scour the map for it. I really like the 90 minute, and every now and then am in the mood for really strong brew. Mmmm....beer.....Friday..... the work day needs to end...
At home waiting for me are: Stone: Arrogant Bastard Stoudt: Pils, Scarlet Lady Weyerbacher: Winter Ale Victory: Hop Whallop, Moonglow And homebrewed: Brown Ale, Wit, IPA

I bought a bottle of Duchesse de Bourgogne last weekend and was intrigued by it. It was "fruity sour" like a cider or lambic. It was good, but I'm not too partial to the style.
If you try it, don't expect it to taste anything like beer. ![]()
