    Just curious what will pop up in this thread...

    Obviously Summit EPA

    Two I'll toss out are:

    Indeed Daytripper and Lucette Ride Again....slight edge to Indeed I think....

    What others catch your attention....SNPA is solid....Third Street Three Way was a disappointment last time I bought it but it may have been old (no dates I could see)....can't go wrong with Stone Pale Ale....

    I feel like Tallgrass 8 Bit needs to be thrown in there.

    Day tripper by a mile in my book. So smooth and an awesome hop aroma to boot.

    Definitely Day Tripper and 8-Bit. I thought Live was good although I had some bottles in the 6pk that weren't as hoppy as the others. Mirror Pond is another.

    Many of the 'session' pale ales are really good. Hopsession(did this get released this year?) , Daytime, All Day, etc
