Stone IPA actually turned me away from trying more IPA's. Completely unbalanced, in my opinion.

[Anonymous No.5327841]

>>5327819
Yeah, it's not a beer that you can just jump into without an adjusted palate. t's a great example of a super hoppy beer, though. The hop character is actually really varied and complex, but it ignores the malt flavors too much to be considered a top tier beer. As far as IPAs go, it's definitely my favorite.

You might like Imperial/Double IPAs more than regular IPAs, actually, because Imperial IPAs have much, much more malt flavors in there in order achieve the higher alcohol %.

[Anonymous No.5327847]

>>5327841
That actually makes sense. The TenFIDY was delicious, and that's got a decent amount of IBU's.

[Anonymous No.5327851]

>>5327847
IBUs are actually pretty meaningless. They're measured by the amount of bittering hops they use in the brew process, but the bitterness of those hops can almost completely disappear depending on how many unfermentable sugars are in the malt. I've had 40 IBU beers that taste much more bitter than 110+ IBU beers.

[Anonymous No.5327866]

>>5327851
True. You can taste the 75 IBU's in Yeti a lot more than the 90 or so in TenFIDY. Care to recommend a good IPA or DIPA available in SoCal that I might try?

>>5327866
SoCal is the fucking place to be for IPA's man. If you can get it, get Pliny the Elder. Stone Ruination and Dogfish Head 90 Minute are other amazing examples of the beer. Lagunitas' Hop Stoopid is one that's much easier to find than Pliny, but is actually really similar.

>Stone IPA
>entry level
Please. Just because it comes from Stone/a well known brewery doesn't mean it's not aggressive. It's way hoppier than every comparable IPA from similar companies, e.g Lagunitas IPA/Sierra Nevada Torpedo/Bell's Two Hearted. 60 Minute is maybe the only other IPA that comes close (that I've had at least).

[Anonymous No.5331157]

>>5331153
In that 60 Minute is the only other IPA that comes close that is as common/easy to get a hold of, I mean. There are definitely better IPAs if you go out of your way.

[Anonymous No.5331161]

>>5331153
Lagunitas is shit. Torpedo is WAY hoppier than Stone IPA, I don't know what the literal fuck you're talking about. Bell's is more floral, and one of my favorite IPA's, but much less intense. 60 Minute is nothing special, neither are 90 or 120 Minute (over-malted as fuck.) You really chose the wrong comparison beer with Torpedo. It's far from my fave, but it's way hoppier than SIPA. It's literal pine needles.

So it's pinier. Floral flavors/aromas come from hops too, you know. Just because the brewer used nothing but Chinook/Cascade and made it a stupidly piney beer doesn't mean it's hoppier than something with other hops notes.

I was just pointing out that "literal pine needles" means nothing about a beer's hoppiness compared to other beers. Piney notes are just one kind of hoppiness and a super piney beer isn't any hoppier than a super floral beer.

"you obviously don't get it. It's super entry level and doesn't have complex nuances for veterans to figure out."

First of all, I disagree. Lagunitas is sweet, creamy, piny, citrusy, floral, with a strong hop taste and a smooth finish.

You try making a 12% beer without it being super malty. (pro tip: you can't). It's not even over-malted. It comes nowhere close to the maltiness of a stout or porter, much less an imperial stout. And you ought to know that Imperial IPAs are all super malty compared to Single IPAs because you need lots more sugars to ferment in order to get the ABV up there into the 8%-11%s.

>"Lagunitas is: [everything]"

Anon, that's what makes it indistinct. There are people that crave bitterness and its nuances in a beer and minimal sweetness, and /ck/ never sees this because those people are 'hipsters.' IPAs are a legitimate style, and bitterness is a legitimate sensory pickup and perhaps addiction. Lagunitas hits every sweet spot, but not hard enough in any area. It is indistinct and completely forgettable. I'm sorry if you haven't developed the palate for bitterness yet. Also, I don't care about ghost peppers or moruga scorpions, those are too hot for me. I still handle hot stuff pretty well.

there are plenty of smokers capable of tasting just as well and better than non-smokers
Personally, I think it's just a matter of smokers tending to care less about and pay less attention to taste than non-smokers. Developing a nuanced palate takes effort, natural tendencies will only go so far, and the effort far surpasses the natural ability in effectiveness.

I've never eaten at any of the places with Ramsey's name plastered to them, but if the Wolfgang Puck thing is true, that sucks.
Still, I think that hardly reflects on their individual talents as chefs, let alone palates. It just reflects on how much care they put into their name brand, which could, understandably, reflect upon their ability as a chef, I guess, depending on how you look at it.
Personally, I think that when they get to the level of celebrity and franchise schemes like that, it hardly reflects on what it means to be a chef anymore, and is just about being a CEO of sorts.

9/11 happenned because the US Government hates the "terrorists" (read: people that are different from us, and they are brown, too...) and kept trying to start shit in the reason. First they trained Usama as a friend... then they bombed all those countries... then they tried to get Sadam even though he was the only one holding that shithole together, and then they got what they deserved.

In a way, 9/11 was an inside job, because for the last several administrations of the federal government, they made really shady moves to try to control a region that is sacred to many people. They went from capitalism to imperialism.
