I assume all aliases are top-level writers, then am relieved more often than not.

You also had the slight advantage of having at least seen a brief cypher verse from neutral.

True. But vivid and zenland write VERY similar. (Style wise)

You notice that and still think it's Vividlyvague?

Also, the reason I thought you might like Nugget Nectar is because it balances out the hops with malt much more than an IPA. (It's an imperial amber ale, and Troegs' HopBack, their regular amber ale, isn't hoppy at all despite its name.)

if it was a bit heavier i would enjoy it more. there are some borderline dopplebocks and marzens that are high on the hop content that i manage to enjoy.

I've had half of those stouts. I actually am more of a stout fan than an IPA fan. My favorite stout is Goose Island's Bourbon Barrel Coffee Stout (though the regular Bourbon Barrel Stout is excellent and much easier to find).
