YOU AH SO STOOPID (anyone who gets this reference gets dinner at my house; hint: you get to eat red SNAPPAH!).

Whoah!  An IPA that I like!  Yes, I am a beer wuss, now shut up. At least I don't drink Bud, Miller,  or other vomity-ness. 

Hop Stoopid by Lagunitas: not as bitter as Smutty Nose, thank goodness.  Has an apricot taste, piney-ness, fresh, crisp, slightly tart.  102 IBU. ABV 8%.  Somehow Smuttynose has only 65 IBU.  Maybe it's an East Coast vs West Coast hop thing?  I will let someone with more IPA love/experience/knowledge comment on this beer and other IPAs (Uncle A, S, S, T, guest blogger?). Ha, for the first time in 26 years, I just realized my brothers' first name initials in descending order are ASS and T.

Date consumed/shared: sometime in mid-February 2012
COR: 99%

    I'm not a big fan of the Smuttynose IPA which is 65 IBU, rated 92 (exceptional) on BeerAdvocate, while I love Redhook Longhammer IPA, which is only 44 IBU, and surprisingly rated at a low 74 (average) on BeerAdvocate. Maybe I have to give the Smutty another chance.

    D gave me a Bear Republic Racer 5 IPA, 75+ IBU, rated 94 (exceptional) on BeerAdvocate, which I am a HUGE fan of! It was so good. I need to try this one though! Keep this going! This is cool.
