Re: What is considered a "Hoppy" Beer?

I will concede that some of the ultra-hopped beers go too far, just as some of the malty beers go too far -- for instance, Sam Adams Imperial Double-Bock - blechhh!

Good Hoppy Beers: Boulevard Single Wide IPA, O'Fallon 5-day IPA, Charleville Hoptimistic, Schlafly Dry-Hopped APA, Laguanitas IPA, Bells Two-Hearted Ale, Sierra Nevada Torpedo Ale, Sam Adams Hallertau Imperial Pilsner --- all are excellent.

Hoppy Beers that I'm not as big a fan of: Schlafly Pale Ale, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Sierra Nevada Hop Harvest, Boulevard Double-Wide IPA, O'Dells Double IPA, Arcadia IPA, Rogue has a pretty good one that passable, Red Hook -not so good, all are drinkable, just not my favorites.

Its kinda interesting that Miller Lite is advertised as being triple-hopped for more flavor, but chit I can't taste ANY hops in that water.
