I tried 5 or 6 different types until I just gave up. I quick confession, I poured the Allagash White right into the garbage can at OBF. There is a good chance I'll be killed by the Craft Beer Mafia for that comment.<BR/><BR/>I don't think it has anything to do with not getting it. You get it just fine, you just don't like it. I think too often we beer people get caught up in having to like everything that is craft beer. I only suggested the Duchesse because I think it is a more balanced and approachable beer.<BR/><BR/>I'm happy to know that I'm not the only one that "doesn't get" some of the beers out there.joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190744835642613081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828714141383213600.post-35443134417016107762009-01-27T09:44:00.000-08:002009-01-27T09:44:00.000-08:00Hi Joe: I had the Duchesse from a bottle 3 or 4 y...Hi Joe: I had the Duchesse from a bottle 3 or 4 years ago. I wasn't as plugged in to beer fashion at the time, and I thought it was ridiculous.<BR/><BR/>A friend brought some Supplication to my house last summer. I realize that I'm showing my lack of sophistication, but I just don't get it.

It is lower in alcohol and is sweeter up front, which balances out the sourness at the end. Because of the lower alcohol content it is not as dry either. From what I understand it is a great representation of the style.<BR/><BR/>And if you liked the Roots over the Dissident, don't try Russian River Suplication, it will turn your face inside out!joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190744835642613081noreply@blogger.com
