It is funny that you mention that, because today I was debating with my friend at lunch regarding whether Green Day belongs in the same box as Creed, Nickelback and Goo Goo Dolls. I said they are bad, but definitely not THAT bad.

Cutting the gap in half... and once again, back to the topic of beer
Drinking a Victory Prima Pils right now.

I mentioned at the start of the thread that it is my favorite Pilsner. Have a couple Shiner Bocks left in my beer fridge (mixed in with a bunch of really really good beers), too.

I'll try some pils this weekend. My bud loves the Hopdevil, but I think it's crap.
I agree with your assessment of Shiner Bock. It's not really a Bock (just Bock colored). I've had it where it has been exceptional and when it's just plain bad. However, when I'm at a bar and the selection is Shiner Bock vs. Bud. Miller, et.al., I get the SB....

It is surprising to me that you do not like the Hopdevil. It reminds me of Avery's Maharaja. I am sure everyone's palate is unique, but SN Torpedo is more similar to DH90. I prefer the SN and DH to Avery and Victory's IPA offerings.

The HopDevil has too much of a Cascade Hop flavouring to it (piney vs. citrusy).
But it's as you said, it all depends on each person's palate.
My bud hated the Widmer Bro's Halo IPA. I though it was okay.

Torpedo is a great (D)IPA. Sure, it's not as good as Stone Ruination, or Pliny the Elder... but at $1.50 a bottle, you cant beat it. Just like North Coast Old Rasputin RIS is the best RIS by value.
Have you had Victory's Storm King? It is a very impressive RIS, IMO.

Ruination is a bit over the top for me. I prefer the "plain" Stone IPA. Same thing with DFH. I prefer the 90 to the 60 to the 120. The high ABV gets too sweet. I still like them just not as much as the lower ABV's,
The reason I like the Avery Maharajah is tha they've hit the high ABV, but have still kept that high hop intensity.

You saying the 120 is not ridiculously hoppy?
By ABV (least to greatest)
DH60 = 6.0% abv
Torpedo = 7.2% abv
Ruination = 7.7%abv
DH 90 = 9.0% abv
Maharaja = 10.2% abv
DH 120 =21.0% abv
By Hoppiness (my estimation) - greatest to least
DH 120
Ruination
Maharaja
DH 90/Torpedo
DH 60

No. i'm saying the sweetness due to the high ABV supercedes the flavour of the extra hops.
I'm not saying that I don't enjoy the DH 120, it's great, but I prefer the tast of the others more.

Me too. I agree that DH120 is too sweet, but it is the ridiculous hop level that makes it so difficult to drink even at a normal IPA drinking pace, IMO.
