    So is Kiwi Rising only bottled once or is there a chance it might show up again at some stores. One shop rang me up a single bottle for $3.85 which I'm guessing was a mistake.

    I feel like it was at least two waves last year, either that or baur was putting it out staggered...for a month long period I was able to grab some and mid month there looked like they got more...not positive though

    That's a good price. It is $5/bottle at Jack's Abby.

    I though it was somewhere between Heady Topper and Stone Enjoy By without the heavy/sweet malt of Heady or the booziness and toasted onion of Enjoy by. Pungent piney hop flavor and very clean, dry finish but not all that bitter.

    Well done.

    I thought it was similar to Kern Citra DIPA.

    Its better then Alpine Nelson, has the flavor profile with a crisp finish...easily my favorite beer last year behind some of the brews from VT.

    Kiwi Rising is great. But after trying a bottle last night from this year's batch, I think I slightly prefer Mass Rising. So glad the latter is the one being brewed more often.

    They had a bunch last night, they don't always put all they got out cause they have a hard time doing bottle limits.
