    I just now heard of this beer.
    Was this a KS only release???

    I feel like OK moves a lot of Tallgrass I'm so surprised I haven't seen this around
    Could anyone fill me in?

    We have it in the twin cities. It's a solid beer, not my style though. I'm surprised you haven't seen it yet.

    It is all over the twin cities, was interesting but I didn't really care for it.

    Yeah i got a 4-pack, it was not for me at all. I actually drain-poured half the can and gave the rest to my friend who likes saison's. It was too acerbic for my taste.

    Hmm that's funny, we didn't get the
    Vanilla Bean Buffalo Sweat in 4-packs either (only in the mixed 8-packs)
    so odd.

    Interested in the beer just because of the naturally sourced plums, love
    a good tart plum.

    thanks fer yer help guys.

    I would try to get a single, or find it on tap before committing to a 4 pack.
    I agree with the majority here; while not bad, it just wasn't tart or crisp enough at the finish for my taste.
    I tried it on tap.

    Great to know!
    Thanks! If I see it in
    a mixed 8 pack I'll definitely
    give it a shot.

    I didn't find it tart, but did find it quite dry and refreshing. Probably the best, non DuPontesque saison, domestic saison I've had to date.

    Considering Grand Forks has yet to see Ethos, I'm not holding out hope on seeing this one

    No Halcyon. We've had 8-bit for a long, long time.

    Really? I've been keeping an eye out for this all summer, just to try, and was just giving up hope.

    I as well. 8-Bit & Ethos...probably switch it up & start drinkin' more Buffalo Sweat & Oasis once this cold weather eases in.

    *fingers crossed for another batch of vanilla bean Buffalo Sweat*
