Dundee India Pale Ale

My 2c....

Grabbed a sixer this arvo, not too keen. Really sweet, not hoppy enough, thin mouthfeel. As with a lot of the posts above, next time will get the vale ipa - even with two less bottles its a better buy.

Not my problem. I drink beer as a thing that has a context, a flavour and a balance. If those things work together, the beer works.

If a beer isn't hopped as much as style guidelines would have me believe but I still enjoy the beer, I don't give a rat's arse. Most of my favourite beers skirt around guidelines anyway and guidelines are guidelines (predominantly for comps), not a set of rules.

I'm about to participate in a bjcp study group but jeeze I wish people would relax a bit on the whole style guide stuff. It's one, fairly modern perspective. Beer is old, much older than our attempts to categorise it.

i didn't see this post three months ago but what wise words.

QFT.
That Vale is a corker.

Vale IPA FTW.

It's fast becoming my fave Dan's beer.

Smells fantastic.

Sorry to go OT Clutch - did you ever end up trying to make my APA? I can't remember, it's been so long since we touched base.

Cheers,

Goomba

Vale IPA, not bad for a Sydney beer. B)

(AIB, not to be confused with the Victorian mob who do Haagen etc )

Wow, those people on ratebeer are kinda dicks about the beers they drink, aren't they?

 

[Bribie G]

Yup, but then they are drinkers paying full price, not brewers.

Some of the folks at AHB can also be a bit dicky about the beers they drink.
