Picked up a six pack of this tonight as well, excited to try it. The Ruination was indeed a bit too hoppy for me in a sense that I didn't feel like it offered much else than just pure hope bitterness. I like when the bitterness is more balanced with other things. I recently had an Avery dipa that was great and a harvest ale? called Hopivore that was really good and interesting dye to it being wet hopped(I don't understand the difference completely, but it had a good flavor. Also the Mikkeler I tried was fantastic, I believe it was the sorachi single hop, I will try to find the bottle and get a pic up. Mykill, have you tried the alpha dog imperial ipa? I got a bottle on recommendation in KY and haven't gotten around to opening it yet.
