    Ah, need I say more? Look for Superfluid to hit stores, this week.

    Superfluid is an American Double IPA with a large, but basic malt bill that explodes with resiny hop aromas! The hop flavors are the focus of this beer due to the lack of sweet specialty grains. Tasty qualities of citrus fruit and berries explode on the palate. Superfluid’s perfect bitterness resonates across the palate, complementing the awesome hop intensity. 9% ABV 100 IBU

    Hey @HopHeadHerman, do you guys ever have a plan to do a really hazy or unfiltered IPA? Short's does many different IPAs and one-off releases like Superfluid and such. It seems to me that an experiment with this type of beer would really suit your release model, and please a lot of folks in MI.

    And don't say never (cause we all know you'll be lying you traitors :wink:).

    Also, looking forward to grabbing a sixer of Superfluid!

    Hope we don't have the share this with non-MI markets. I plan on spending an entire paycheck on this.

    @HopHeadHerman , any info about the switch from 2011 Raisin Apollo being 9% to now being 15.7%?

    Both great beers, but I think I'd have to give the nod to this new version.
