    My wife grabbed me one from Top Hops yesterday, maybe drink it tomorrow. Had DB Huna this winter, Huna a couple of weeks ago and my last bottle of Xocoveza today, interested to see how this one stacks up.

    So far DB Huna > Xocoveza > Huna

    I understand these are "hot" beers", but the heat in Huna bothered me, didn't get that same heat in Xocoveza, Xocoveza was a lot more drinkable to me. Loved DB Huna though.

    Huna has almost no heat too. You're gonna hate Mexican Cake FYI

    Yeah, will be a roll of the dice for me for MC.

    Heat wise, what order would you put these in : DB Huna, Huna, Mexican Cake, Xocoveza?

    And I figure there will be some brave souls who will offer to take it off my hands too :slight_smile:!

    Mexican Cake >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Huna >> DB Huna >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Xocowhatever

    (you didn't ask, but Abraxas would be somewhere in between Mexi Cake & Huna)

    Did the thread change to "beers with chilies in them" (e.g. Pirate Bomb, Chili Jesus)?

    Never had Huna, and understood Bomb is a little different, but I'm:

    Cake>>>>Abraxas>>>>>>>Bomb>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Xoco

    Abraxas is great, just tends to be a little too sweet for me. Bomb is overall a bit more toned down. Xoco is very toned down. Cake is perfect

    I grabbed a second one that I can trade if someone has some fresh hops in NYC or Westchester county. 4 pack of hop showers would work.

    I was at Upright Brewhouse earlier and MC is on their upcoming keg list. I imagine that means this weekend or early next week. On-site bottles also available for $28.
