I live off off of Batavia so take that for what it's worth. This beer is greater than its parts. This beer is the grand puba. This beer will kick your face with your fist. If you can find it. Drink it. It's a fucking face melter though. Highly improbable that you are gonna have a 2nd 22.

Citrus, caramel, hops and malt. A Quad IPA that is beyond drinkable...despite the 14.3% assault. A beauty.

Bottle pour, color was dark copper with little head. Good aroma. More balanced than I anticipated. Hops up front with a sweet, sugary finish. Feel was impressive given its ease to drink. For a 14% ABV the booziness was masterfully hidden. Overall, a very big beer that was enjoyable and I'd have again.

Pours dark copper. Raisins in nose. Strong malt presence dominates hops. Surprising little aftertaste (quick finish). Very non-boozy for such high ABV.

A huge beer in every sense of the word. Huge malt flavors, huge hop flavors, but the 14.3% is hidden very well. Loved it.
