Might sound silly, but you really do get a good appreciation for the hop's flavor and bitterness.   Just plant a small flower in the cheek of your mouth and let if slowly bleed out the flavor.

Tried it a couple of times with pellet hops, but they break up in your mouth.

Senior, I'm struggling to decypher the meaning of your symbol talk...

Is it, "I have the shakes, but now I had a stout, and then I turned into an evil bastard"??  Close?

yeah, love the hops...haven't met a beer yet that I found too hoppy...

I even throw whole leaf hops in my mouth like chewing tabacco when I brew....


Close...

I'm so excited I'm about to have a HOPPY PORTER....
Drain that HOPPY PORTER....,
I have always been an evil BASTARD....Just ask RB

I have a 9.2% IIPA that used 4.5oz of magnum hops in 5.5 gallons... clearly Kyle does not want any :P



probably not. But with that much malt to balance it, might be fine. That much hops in a pale ale, well, I'd try it, but I can't imagine it would be more than a sip

Dangit, it was a hoppy porter, not a stout!  I was close!
