Sample a Shipyard "Barley Wine Style Ale" the other day. It was part of one of their special big bottle series. Absolute shit! I find Shipyard is hit or miss and this was definitely a miss. It tasted SO good up front but kicked me in the Jimmy on the back end and after taste. Wicked dry and hoppy with a wallop of an after taste. I didn't even finish my pint glass, let alone the rest of the bottle. Horrid waste of $9.
On the plus side, a case of random Flying Dog showed up on my doorstep this weekend courtesy of my brother. I have sampled many of their bigger beers but not yet their more traditional Pale Ale. VERY nice Pale Ale offering from flying dog. Somewhat dry yet very tasty. Better than Sierra Nevada's Pale Ale. A good ale to fall back on when I am not quite man enough for the Barley Wine or Double IPA from Flying Dog.
