5. Randall the Enamel Animal
randallizer.jpgAlso know as the Organoleptic Hops Transducer, it’s not so much a beer as it is a device with which to alter (or “Randallize”beer. Designed by the craft brewers at Delware’s well-respected Dogfish Head Brewery, the Enamel Animal is is a Frankenstein device meant only for true lovers of hops — and no one else. It’s basically a huge filter packed with whole-leaf hops, which you run an already-finished beer through (take your pick) before it comes out of the tap. (It’s kind of like brewing coffee with coffee instead of water: totally insane.) The result is so super-concentratedly hoppy that it feels like it’s eating away at your teeth (hence, the “Enamel Animal”
I dunno, talked to a people who have had some of the "Randall" and said they loved it (then again, they're paranoid pot smokers...)
I'd try it. 
Dead wrong on the lambics. Those are some damn fine beers. An acquired taste, sure, but good.
I thought the 120 minute IPA was all but undrinkable...so I'm guessing that brewed hop juice isn't for me.

Lambics are the best thing going. If I were stranded on a desert island, I'd want a lifetime supply of Cantillion geueze with me.
I've actually had number 3 on that list the alba scots pine ale, and I can concurr it was pretty awful. Mind you this is coming from somebody who regularly will take a colorado spruce needle and chew on it during a hike or while camping.
The Randallize or Hopalator as I have heard it called around hear, RULES.
I have had the 60 90 and 120 Dog Fish and none compare to what this will do to a beer.
Sadly they quit using it around here, as it wastes quite a bit of beer to operate.

I'd eat a mule dick cooked in axle grease if it was alcoholic and free.
I too enjoy a lambic from time to time
