    Well, it's listed as DIPA, not Tripel. IIPA and DIPA are the same thing. Two different names. Just like Saison/Farmhouse Ale, Scotch Ale/Wee Heavy, Milk/Sweet Stout.

    You're arguing with me, yet agreeing with me. Weird.

    It is listed as a Triple IPA on Uptappd for what it's worth. But I fully understand that's no different than a DIPA or IIPA.

    Thanks for the convo though.

    Hi-Res, The Crisp & Bengali landed in state a couple weeks ago. I must admit I was expecting more hop bitterness, and a little crisper/cleaner finish, from Hi-Res considering the IBUs and the fact that it's classified as a DIPA/TIPA depending on your source.

    Praise the Hop Gods!!! If you're in the north jersey area, specifically at Total Wine in Hackensack they have Hi-Res in stock..probably not for long

    I'm quite interested to know how that turns out - please do post a review somewhere (here, WBAYDN...). Not like I can make one, I drank my last 4Beans months ago but I want to live vicariously!

    Has this hit Northern Virginia yet? I'm hoping I haven't missed it. I loved last year's version and this year's sounds even better.

    ^^ from Sixpoint:

    I was lucky to get some one tap and I think it is even better than last year - not changing my avatar anytime soon at least.

    I highly recommend this mix, especially if you're into mixing and you love hoppy coffee stouts that hide any evidence of danger. Mix was about 60% Hi-Res 40% 4Beans, the Hi-Res stands up pretty well in the mix.
    This is a definite do over for me

    Another week has passed here in the Philly suburbs and was just told Hi Res would not be released till next week...nothing like aging a good DIPA...

    Fear not! Kegs have been released in/around Philly, and FRESH cans are arriving very soon, likely landing in Philly toward the end of next week (potential hiccups from winter storms always makes locking in specific delivery dates a crapshoot at this time of the year). Drink 'em up when you see 'em because they'll be super fresh!
