Most hazy IPAs suck ass. I've had a couple of decent ones, but that's it. We went to Breakside brewing in Portland over the weekend and they had 6 IPAs on tap, so we tried a flight of all 6, 2 of which were hazy. The 2 hazy ones were the worst. And I recently learned that some brewers put flour, yes flour, into their beers just to make them hazy. I'm a home-brewer and I have a rule that you don't put anything into your beer unless it improves the quality - too much risk involved for all the hard work (and $$) you put into it. Instead of flour, maybe they just shouldn't filter the beer before bottling, or allow for a little bottle-conditioning to get a little haze into it.

Such a shame . If you like sucking on lemons this ones for you. Too bitter in my opinion as I’m typically not a fan of sour beers . The lingering taste of grapefruit only makes matters worse.

We also had a Deschutes Abyss (2013) over the weekend and was likely the best beer we had. I've had it in my pantry now for several years and it was outstanding. My brother said he could probably get close to $100 for it through his beer geek contacts (original cost in 2013 was $4.99). I still have a 2014 version in the pantry - anybody wanna buy it? Bidding starts at $99.
No doubt, the bomb.Founders is usually pretty good, actually damn good, so I'm a little surprised. I probably wouldn't be a fan of anything with the name 'monk' in it anyway as they tend to be sweet, over-malty, fizzy belgian-style beers.
Had a Founders CBS this past weekend in Portland while visiting my brother - he's probably a bigger beer geek than you, bait.
This one was outstanding.
