    Was solid this year but not as overwhelmed by it as I was the last 2 years. Better (and cheaper) than Broodoo in any case.

    It had a bit more of a hoppy bite than the previous years. I really enjoyed it.

    I was at Founder's on Friday night (November 8) and they had it in the fridge and on tap.

    I thought it was great, hoppy, minimal bitterness, very flavorful. Loved it.

    This years was a little lighter than I remember but may be just a year of big beers in between. Crisp, bright and just a pleasure. A pure expression of the hop--an annual treat.

    Scored some more while up in Maine. The bottle I had from this batch was tastier than the first one I had, or it could've just been my palate. Funny, in NJ I can't even get a four pack but up on Maine multiple four packs just sitting around.

    It hit my area this week. For some reason it was all bottled 10/2 which is really disapointing, but it's still great. I've purchased over a case already and will get more. It's not quite as citrusy as I recall last years but it could be because it's over a month old. Still it's one of my absolute favorite beers. Harvest and to a slightly lesser extent Schlafley Tasmanian IPA will easily hold me over until Sucks arrives.

    I just saw a bunch in one of the local stores & they were all dated 10/2 as well

    Saw two cases sitting on the shelf today. It is damn good, but I will not be making a special trip for it next year.

    The flavor profile on these is definitely starting to change. Not as intensely citrus as it was two weeks ago, but still a very good beer.
