Hoppy New Year

[kodak79]

A new year and getting ready for a new brew. I've got 2 lined up to go, Young's American IPA and Festival Razorback, and currently have around 40 pints of Grand Cru, 40 pints of Festival Golden Stag (in 2nd fermentation) and about 20 pints left of Four Finger Jack. Regarding the latter I tried it expecting something hoppy like the Young's Ameican IPA and was really disappointed but having read the story on the link below I'm now wondering if I'm being a little closed minded?
