    Any suggestions of fruit beers that are still on the shelves around town or at nova (NG aside)?

    I may be in the minority, but I thought Hop Forest was an average DIPA, but hey, thats just my opinion man.

    I felt the same, have away two cans and probably won't buy any more. So you are not the only one.

    Hop Forest @ F44 for $11.49. Still a few bottles left of Vanilla Chai.

    The most recent bottling of Pompeii won't be hitting MN from what I hear.

    Just plain deliciousness. If we didn't have so many awesome and tasty IPA/DIPA coming out I could drink several cases.

    Depends on what you're looking for. It's a resinous, piney, oily IPA. Reminds me alot of Hoptimum. If you want a fruity, tropical IPA wait a couple weeks for Alchemy Hour. And be prepared to have your socks blown off.

    April can't come soon enough for Chillwave! For those that like Hop Forest it looks like duganA has been hitting all over this week and its drinking very nice, picked a bottle up at TW Roseville 8.99.

    Anyone know the packaging and price point on Hi-Res?
