Harpoon retiring Long Thaw White IPA

I used to put it on tap I liked it so much. This came up here a while ago, but I can't find the thread.

 

It was on sale, $15/case (24 bottles) at Yankee Spirits a couple weeks ago. Had to buy it, but haven't tried it yet.

 

RIP

 

The White IPA craze has come & gone (it followed the short-lived Black IPA phase).

Predict the fruit IPA era will be done in a year or 2.

That said, I didn't mind this beer. Was good on tap after a day of skiing - but most beer goes in that category I suppose.

 

The 100 Barrel Series version was better, IMHO

 

What ever happened to the Black IPA? Was a great beer.

 

Sour IPA/dry-hopped sour mainstream trend is starting this year, will be huge next year.

 

Sounds horrible. And it will follow the white, black & fruit IPA's into oblivion.
