haa, one for SS:

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&#8221 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&#8221 — not a sensation I’m looking for when I pick up a mug of beer.

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...)

 

[SkaredShtles]

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.

 

[Smelly]

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.

 

[McGRP01]

I'd try it.

 

[BurlyShirley]

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
