    I have to say, I really loved the 90 and Burton Baton. Excellent beers. I liked the 60 but found it MUCH better on tap. The 75 was good but didn't measure up to the 90 or BB. 120 is next week. Looking forward to that. For the money, I think I'd choose the 90 as my fave so far.

    Cheers!

    My favorite are World Wide Stout and Burton Baton. I did not care for Midas Touch.

    I agree on the Midas Touch. Tasted like a sprayed a really bad lavender perfume in my mouth.
    Bitches Brew is pretty good, along with their Immort Ale. My favorite offering has to be Squall (unfiltered 90 min) and Palo Santo

    Fresh 90 is ALWAYS a good choice--tap or bottle

    Some of the bomber offerings can be love/hate

    Love for me for

    Hellhound--very hoppy (EST 100 IBUs) but a solid malt backbone and has a tiny bit of lemon. Delicious
    Rhizing Bines--new collaboration with SN--BIG

    I love their "Minute" series, but I could hardly find any maple in 75. Sad.

    I think the best part of 75 is the bottle conditioning--the maple is very light but the mouthfeel is awesome and very different from 60 and 90.

    People say fresh Olde School is too hot. I found the 2012 to be damn fine. But I've still got two bottles in the basement as well as a 2011 that's going to be riding along for a few years.

    Although it seems as if DFH is coming out with a new beer every day, they have some really solid beers. Some people hate on them for doing new things/resurrecting ancient recipes, but they are not BMC and are self made. Their new expansion will be done on their own dime, not a greedy bank's. Awesome.

    Funny, 75-Minute is the only one I enjoy. 60 is one-dimensional to me, and 90 is just boozy and not to my liking. To each his own though.

    60, 90 minute, Bitches Brew, Theobrama, and Punkin are my favorite DFH brews. I will try anything they put out though...guess that makes me a fanboy?? Oh well.

    Cheers!

    I'm a DFH lover. Minute series is great, 120 is my favorite but I like them all. Bitches Brew and Hellhound are awesome, Birra Etrusca was surprisingly good and Festina Peché is extremely underrated IMO. They make a ton of beers and I could go on forever but just keep drinking, some you'll love, some you won't, but they are all pretty cool and unique. If I had to describe them in one word it would be "fun".

    Good point. It does certainly sit apart from the series in that respect, but with their track record and resources I was hoping for more pow in the flavor department as well.
