Southern Star Valkyrie DIPA

Wow, a 6 month old IPA that wasn't good fresh still sucks?! :shocker:

 

^^ Curious as well...

 

Does SS date anything? I'v never seen a date on any of their cans, therefore I never buy any SS beers.

 

That's my beef on buying it. I don't trust the distributor/sales rep to pull off old stuff and the local market wouldn't know..

 

Funny...I've been thinking about this and have started looking for some fresh ones over the last couple of weeks. I found some September four packs.... then a few that were undated. Last night at Bunker Hill HEB (which usually turns their stock pretty quickly) I was appalled to see 5/xx/14. If it made it back to it's Pro-Am quality, I would buy this stuff all the time. SS needs to get a handle on this.

 

Bunker Hill HEB cleaned out the May Valkyrie. Now they have some fresh November stuff. If anyone finds some truly fresh Valkyrie, post it. I would really like to revisit this beer.

 

Southern Star has a draft beer out now called Half Nelson ( Half Nelson, half Mosaic) and it is seriously delicious. Rivals Yellow Rose. Hopefully they eventually can it because I would buy it. A lot.

 

I've been hearing good things but Hopped & Screwed was another strikeout for me. But for these good comments, I wouldn't be ordering it whenever I see it next.

 

Is Half Nelson in cans too? I looked on untapped to see where it has been consumed and some of the pics have it next to their default seasonal can, but I can't find anything about it being canned online

 

Those cans are samples. No can plan YET, from what I've been told.

 

Still on my search for some fresh stuff. I spoke to a SS Rep. at a tasting two weeks ago and he said they were pulling everything from the shelves and getting some fresh stuff out that week. I went looking today and found some canned 4/15/14. Yum!

 

So its good now?
