Someone on Beer Advocate needs to calm down a little {#Lol}

If they're getting confused about the difference between a stout and an IPA, and tossing in a little mis-understood and irrelevant Belgian beer allusion as well, then I'd file that in the ignore-box {#Snooty}

*edit* My last post got mangled before I could finish it properly. The full, finely-honed, glittering orb is there to be enjoyed {#Arrowd}

It may not be a classic style but some of them will hop your socks off. Dogfish Head particularly. The American craze for IPAs mostly leaves me cold but hoo boy I love DFH 90 Minute.

The label looks like someone went through The Bumper Book Of Beer Nomenclature and picked random words out, and whacked them on a label.

Jeez. Wrong in so many ways.

And if that's the work they put in on the label, then gawds knows what actually went in the bottle.

"Imperial India Pale Ale" my arse. It would be sad if it wasn't for the fact that:

What?

I tried this one because...well, because America dammit! And it blew me away with its refreshing goodness.

Went back to the store and it was all gone, but they had their IPA, which I generally don't like but did. So that's two. I'd try their stout or barleywine if I could find it.

Didn't like this one, some kind of strange sour after taste.

"Imperial India Pale Ale" my arse. Fer gawds sake Russian Imperial Stout was very popular in pre-revolutionary Russia, accounting for a great deal of British beer exports, and yes, some IPA went that way as well. As seperate products.

But this mish-mash is just wrong. Imperial stout or porter on one hand, India Pale Ale on the other. Worlds apart, both literally and in beerland.

It's about time I had some of that. I liked it before, but in my normal rotation it's missed a few turns. I remember thinking it was great, tho.

I mean Odell. They're not marketed in the East for some reason. I asked the guy who runs the Wall Of Beer. {#Arrowd}

Is that IPA about a 7%er?
