    Saw Overgrown as part of OC variety 12 packs in Mansfield (Wines & More) but did not see any on its own. Some places still have a lot of Fresh Slice to move if they're going to make room for Overgrown.

    I kind of don't like Overloaded. It didn't really offer anything new.

    I am hoping that Double Dose will come around again one day.

    Can't wait to get Double Dose. I have a Shed Nosedive in the cellar...anybody try that? On the whole, I'm excited to see what is coming out of both Long Trail and Otter Creek. Since I'm often in Rochester (VT), Otter Creek is a fairly easy trip and is always in the local Macs Valley Market.

    Otter Creek just posted a video (link) where Brewmaster Mike talks about Overgrown APA. He also says that the Otter Creek Oktoberfest (Sept 20) will have the release of Double Dose. Last year at their Oktoberfest, they also released Double Dose with Lawson's.

    Picked up Overgrown tonight. The spicy bitter kick at the end is surprising, and possibly a little too much for my tastes. Cool overall though.

    I think it's a very drinkable and flavorful APA. Another winner from Mike Gerhart.

    Overgrown was a bit too bitter for my tastes as well. I can see how people would like it, but it was a just a mouthful of lingering bitter bits.

    Yeah, not really enjoying Overgrown. Got a bitter apple thing going on. Oh well.

    Any idea of how much DD they're brewing this year? More, less, same?

    Just had an Overgrown after drinking a Trillium Fort Point w/ Double Galaxy, needless to say, Overgrown is pretty average.
