Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #44 Pliny the Elder vs Heady Topper Blind Taste Test

We have a special treat for everyone this week! Mike and I go behind the camera and MC what very well be the greatest blind taste on the entire internet!!! Just kidding, but we do have a blind taste test that we found pretty fun to record and think it’ll be fun to watch.

Mike and I didn’t think it was fair to do this blind taste test ourselves as we could easily pick out the two since we’ve had Heady so much and the taste is extremely different. Instead of comparing the two which is like comparing apples to oranges these days, we thought we’d bring in a panel of outside judges.

We have (from left to right in the video) my lovely girlfriend, Kerry, Melanie from Melly Mel’s Cookin and our semi-frequent guest and Mike’s brother, Josh.

All 3 of them did a blind taste test about a year ago. Kerry and Melanie chose Pliny and Josh Picked Heady. Let’s see what they pick this time.

Hope you guys enjoy!

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #28 The Alchemist Heady Topper

HEADY TOPPER *MIC DROP*

The Alchemist Heady Topper

Style: Double IPA
Container: 2 x 16oz Can
Glassware: Small tasters for look only then drank from the can
Notes: (From website) Take a big sip of Heady and see what hop flavors you can pick out. Orange? Tropical Fruit? Pink Grapefruit? Pine? Spice? There is just enough malt to give this beer some backbone, but not enough to take the hops away from the center stage.
