A couple of weeks ago I had my first Supris on tap, and I felt like that was a preferrable way to drink it. The bottle (if not decanted) tends to work through about 4 or 5 flavors by the end, perhaps leaving the beer-drinkers with a big question as to Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-1141085552363816332006-02-27T16:12:00.000-08:002006-02-27T16:12:00.000-08:00I may have to take you up on that.

So the question is, will it actually succeed? I'd actually like to see it.<BR/><BR/>(Incidentally, someone go buy a bottle of Duvel and Supris and compare them back to back and tell me Jeff Alworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930119177544342495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-1141083366256940762006-02-27T15:36:00.000-08:002006-02-27T15:36:00.000-08:00Love the new blog.

It grew on me a little over the course of a few sips, though. As you said, not a classic, but not a bad beer. And not one I'll necessarily order again. Not when their IPA is an option.
