Quote: Paul Dallas said: New Belgium Hoptober -- not bad at all. Five hops and fourt malt varieties in a light golden ale. Its got an upfront bite that lingers a bit, but this sixer will soon be a goner in the Dallas Fridge. Probably within the next 15 minutes.
Got to try the Hoptober when I was out in Sept. Tried it right from the tap at NB. It was goood. I still think Mighty Arrow is their best. I'm finding a lot of beers with Amarillo as their flavoring hop. Very distinct. I think the Hoptober uses some amarillo. To me the Hoptober had a hint of peanuts in it near the end. Different.
I'm heading back out to Colo Thursday. Hope the weather cooperates. Bro-in-law has been drooling about Dogfish Head's 90 & 120 min IPA. He claims they're smooooth. He said they make Great Divide's Hercules taste like paint thinner and I think the Herk is pretty damn good. $10 a bottle (12oz) for the 120 min IPA... It better be forkin good.
