Ghost in the Machine evolution

It seemed as if it was always tinkered with, but since the Opus Vert release it has been way off of the mark, to the point where I personally haven't even been buying it. I am speaking in terms of the last 3-4 batches, I suppose.

Could resources, r&d, cream of the crop, etc. be being used for OV, Bloom, DDH Envie etc. now?

I have no clue. I'm not a brewer nor do I claim to understand all the in's and out's of brewing. My Mr. Beer kit did treat me well once though.

do y'all think that the change was inadvertent?

He told 4Miles before the GRD event started that the change has been inadvertent. Same recipe, etc. but the beer turns out different. Others have said that the yeast he had been using for Ghost has changed. I don't know.

Isnt this batch of Ghost 100% El Dorado hops?

Do the judges at GABF tend to prefer clarified IPAs as opposed to the cloudy ones?

Didn't one of Great Raft win some...

That should say something

I had a draft pour of Ghost from Overpass a week or so ago and didn't enjoy it nearly as much as previous batches. I just wrote it off as just a subjective preference of my taste buds that day, but it certainly could speak to a difference in the batch.

He really liked it and said it reminded him of Pliny.

ETA: I really like it, too, and I think that maybe people are expecting one thing and getting another and thats throwing off their objectivity. I just thought that maybe it's exactly what Andrew wants it to be, and he wants his flagship DIPA to compete at GABF.

Just do what they do on Untapped Ghost Batch #



Then maybe people aren't expecting that batch 4 juiciness everyone loved.

I had it for the first time this past week. My first few sips were a boozyness, almost alcohol burn. I let it sit for awhile while watching the LSU game and after awhile it tasted really nice. As others have said it may be one that is beat to drink later than fresh.

Cool
