I can do those in moderation. The sweet tart pucker on those is nice but they're one and done.
As for IPA, if you do it right, it's good. Too many breweries are going the route of it's a popular thing right now and so many of them are throwing a bitter, piney beer at you and saying it's great. No. It's not. Just because you can produce a beer that's 80+ IBU doesn't mean it's drinkable. Also, putting in three varieties of bittering hops is a little overkill, especially high acidity ones in the final stages. Ugh.
Prairie make great beers. They are all expensive. Some were worth it some weren't. I would still buy it on recommendation despite the price. If its a good one, it will be awesome. I haven't had a drink in near 2 months.
Not a IPA guy but the Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin's IPA sure went down well in CA. I'm a Bell's fan and it has that same 'secret' flavor. I think that subtle flavor is grapefruit.
Delicious. Like super delicious. Imperial stout. The flavor of chocolate in it is intense. Would rival a mocha latte in chocolate and coffee. Too bad it's $12 for a bottle.
