    No I didn't check. I think around $12-13 because I picked up a couple other bottles and a glass ($10) for $28 total.

    Currently in the white mountains. Glenn beverage and discount beverage has cases of it. Gladly picked up 2 4-packs.

    I grabbed some yesterday in Waltham for $3 a bottle (2 bottle limit). Have to say, I seem to be in the minority but I am very disappointed in this. The hops are incredibly flat.

    Haven't come across any. Boston Wine Exchange said they got a little and immediately sold out. Longtime MA customers get screwed by Founders again.

    I'm completely with you....I bought two bottles at same store I assume and then drove and grabbed another 4pk somewhere else. Cracked them last night and simultaneously got a text from a coworker .....the thought all around is that this is not up to snuff for a wet hop ale. Last year when I had it was on tap and it was way different, but I can't believe it is bottle v. keg thing. I'm thinking it just didn't come out well.

    It is flat this year especially on the nose. I think getting it a week or two sooner would've helped retain some hop pop. Mass distro dragging their feet really hurt it this year. I'll have to keep an eye on how long it takes to hit shelves next year before a buy a few four packs again.

    Still on the shelf at Top Shelf Brews in Hampton, NH. Tastes great.

    Not sure all the hype on this one, maybe the oily resin?

    Picked up a 4 pack at pembroke center liquors. Thanks for the heads up dools9! I believe there were 1 or 2 four packs left. Also picked up the last Double Dose 4 pack they had. Nice store too, I work in the stop and shop next door a few days a week for my job, never went in this store but will check it out in the future

    Grabbed the last two 4-packs at Beer & Wine at the Andovers in Andover, MA yesterday. Missed out on more at Julio's last weekend though.

    I ran into an unexpected treasure trove of Harvest at Bin Ends in Needham today. Maybe you think it's past it's prime by now, but I am enjoying it thoroughly right now. I also admit I have never had it before, so maybe I just don't know what I'm missing. Still several 4 packs in stock today. I kinda wish I had bought more, but currently a bit spoiled with hoppy goodness between this, Celebration, Kiwi Rising, Brown Shugga, and some On the Wings of Armaggedon I picked up in DC last weekend.

    It's not past prime, past prime should be so good. Nicely done wet hop, lots of hops, minimal bitter.
