    Hit Madison WI today and it is probably the best Wet IPA I have had this fall.

    Found in GA. Thankful to have atlanta as a shipping hub to the south Atlantic.

    It hit this week, and didn't last long near me. I'd start calling around asap. Might see a few more next week.

    I was afraid of that. Only shop in the county that would have it apparently didn't order any. Guess it's time for a drive.

    Anyone notice a sticky, lingering mouthfeel? It's unique and I liked it. It's probably how fresh it is and that its wet hopped

    I feel much the same, except that last year I thought it was "best hoppy beer I'll possibly ever have"-good, while this year it's merely "best hoppy beer of the year"-good. That's still saying a lot, of course, and particularly because I live in the Northwest where almost every brewer puts out one (or more) fresh hop beers.

    I imagine somewhat different hops, a different harvest, the lower ABV (altered malt bill?), and other factors can account for much of the difference. Memory always plays a role, too, but I would swear under oath that last year's version had a juicy aroma and taste the likes of which I'd never experienced, and may never again.

    Drinking one right now, and I am enjoying it quite a bit. Girlfriend didn't care for it, but she tends toward the malty beers. Fruity and piney, very tasty.

    My hophead wife says it tastes like Bud Light.

    Different from last year. I remember the last batch being much more floral but this batch is so fucking crushable and still crazy tropical aromatic. Love it.

    Is it possible to file for divorce, and, like, immediately? :wink:

    This is middle of the pack stuff for me when compared to local NW fresh hop offerings. Give me Fremont, Fort George, Reuben's, Laurelwood, Breakside, Crux, Machine House or Bale Breaker over this any day.

    Never had this before. A top 5 beer for my 2015 list. Very dank. And dank is good.

    Picked up a 6 pack after work last night...definitely worth seeking this one out!

    It does taste like Bud Light compared to the dank DIPA's she prefers. Oh well, I get the whole six pack to myself I guess.
