    How was yours Ralphdoggy? Just had another. It's very tropical. Much more so than Pliny, which to my palate tends to be more floral. Def a lot of similarities though. Really enjoying this.

    12/15 batch is much improved. No Belgian yeast characteristics.

    I agree 12/15 batch was not, not as good as the first batch, but it's back on track

    G_Z_a it was very very good. Reminds me a lot of hop venom, which I love.

    I drank a four pack of the 12/15 and it was incredible. I have no earlier batches to reference it against, but it was top tier with my other favorite DIPAs (enjoy by, Pliny, etc.).

    Had a 4 Pack of the 12/29 batch over the weekend. They've got it pretty dialed in now. Really delicious. I generally prefer to drink from a proper glass, but this seems to be even better straight from the can. Hopefully they can maintain the quality of these last two batches.

    Just tried the current batch on tap over at 16 tons. This might be the best batch I've ever tasted from them. Completely agree with G_Z_a... they've really got the recipe dialed in now.

    I feel like it's done nothing but improve since the initial issues. The only January batch I've had has been the 1/11, and it was great. Can't wait for Tropical Slam!

    Agreed. I think I might have preferred the prior batch (slightly), but the current batch is excellent as well.

    Is tropical slam going to see the inside of a can?

    Yes. It's being released tomorrow at the B15 locations. The 4 pack holders are green (instead of black) and will include a sticker denoting the variant. According to B15, it will also see distro.

    Forgo to mention- Fort George got a keg of is, so I enjoyed full 22 a couple weeks ago- and wholly cow- it was on point. So glad to have had it as it was meant to be. If this get the regular distribution on the north coast, as has been rumored, it'll be my go to.
