The Centauri is pretty good, but I think it has two different formulations - one is 9% alcohol; the other is 6-point-something. I prefer the stronger one.

Space dust tastes stale and weak, didn't like their immortal or whatever either with the fist and lightning on the bottle. Doubt I'll buy the brand again

Miller lite tonight, but I tried pic related the other day and man it was weird. Super funky, but the hops made the aftertaste really bitter. When it warmed up it got better, but it was just very unique tasting. Not good or bad. Just different. Excited to see where this project goes for surly desu.
Oh and I've only had one other Brett beer so I didn't really know how to approach the stuff.

I was unaware that they made two different versions - I've only every had the 9%, and just had it on tap last week and remembered how much I liked it.

Instead of looking it up I went and took a pic inside the door of my fridge (if you can't guess, I'm drinking the Elysian).

>>8678209

>stale and weak

*drinking it right now*
*pondering your assessment*

I think it's quite good. Not at all stale, and by no means weak. It's certainly not everyone's cup of tea, but "stale and weak" is definitely not how I would describe it.

Perhaps you tried a bottle that was a year or two old? (Still can't figure out how it would get "weak"; the 8.2 abv wouldn't go down and if anything the hops would become undrinkable.)

>What are some others you like?

That's too broad of a question, and the answer is usually going to be one of a number of things I've had recently.

Just try all different styles, and try things that have generally good reviews (trust your own taste and remember there's no such thing as a "meme beer" - you'll know if a dumb fad is a dumb fad). And if you're going to pick up an IPA, or any other hop forward style, don't bother if you're not going to drink it within 90 days at the very, very, latest of the bottling date.

It's a decent IPA but it's a few bucks more expensive than other decent stuff so I don't recommend it. It does have a pretty high abv so the alcohol per dollar is actually a bit better than the other stuff, but that hardly matters to me since I tend to drink at the same pace regardless of abv.

Ultimately, I'd say it's worth trying if you like IPAs but not something to buy often.

New England beers are so fucking overrated. Breweries like Tree House and Alchemist derive their reputation 100% because of exclusivity. The beers are average at best but are impossible to get for anyone not living in the area so the beeradvocate neckbeards fabricate lies in their own head when it comes to taste testing them. In reality, it's all shit and they get BTFO by breweries like Trillium.
