    From pictures I've seen it doesn't look the same which appearance to me means a lot for this beer. It is my favorite Pipeworks beer and one thing that always blew my mind was the yellow hazy pithiness that it gave off much like the aforementioned trillium beers. I sure hope it's just the lighting for most. I can't wait to have again.

    I also think it looks different...taste is good but not as amazing as last batch IMO.

    Different lighting...but previous version was far hazier and as someone else said, more Trillium like.

    Not the last time it will be made, likely the last time the puking unicorn image will be used. PW wants to distribute out of state, and I've heard they have gotten some resistance to the label art. Not confirmed, just overheard.

    Interesting. I suppose this might then doom the proposed label on the upcoming PW/Founders mango, coffee stout collaboration where the unicorn is puking on a baby at the breakfast table?

    @NOTpipeworks I can assume shit is hectic at the new brewery, but are there any plans for merch (glasses, hoodie, shirts) anytime soon? Looks like those are sold out on the website.

    Lets go for thicker chicago winter style hoodies this time, its hard to sport the brewery when i have to cover it up with layers of other clothes to stay warm at releases.:rolling_eyes:
    And deff need a beanie hat to for the cold winters.

    Shouldn't they do a "lone pine mall" as their standard and twin pines as the imperial?

    A label featuring a ginger beard bro and a three eyed ET with Pipe tattooed on its fingers?

    Automatic pass...

    I don't even have to look at the label to know it's at least 10% and made with buzzword ingredients.

    I hope you're joking on the automatic pass. Abduction base with vanilla, no way this isn't gonna be good.

    Honestly thought the abduction series was too sweet when I tried a few last year. Might give this vanilla a try ...
