    I drank some from the last bottling date last night and am "enjoying" a keg from early feb tapped last week. Nowhere near its "former self"

    Time to start asking dld q's or ponder the can vs bottle debate...

    Sorry still a newbie, I was thinking you meant you couldn't find any, but thats a damn shame, this is my first year being able to drink Hopslam, I didn't realize it lost its flavor so quickly.

    I'm being a bit sarcastic. It's not as great as it was fresh, but sill tasty

    Had some from a mini-keg in August and it was still pretty good, even though you could tell that certain tastes had faded.

    Still drinking my case from late December and it's just as delicious as that first sip.

    I didn't get as much honey backbone in this years batch. That said, it was still tasty.

    Is it me or did it taste like the spices were different this year?

    At a month old, it takes flavors out of your mouth.
