    I have no problem with people smoking, vaping, etc....but at least utilize some gum and get the order right lol. The Juicy Banger was delicious in the end :wink:

    Any thoughts on the new version of n00b?

    Didn't have the first version of it, but I liked this one a lot. Super drinkable. I personally thought it was a touch better than the latest taproom version of Superfan (Haze Bomb).

    Did the flavor stick around? My problem with b1 was that the flavor dissipated in about 2 seconds.

    Thats FFF. I would more regret overpaying for their beer.

    Not sure if anyone else has tried this year's St. Lupilin yet, but its quite tasty (again).

    Great from the teet over the weekend, but the cans are just so incredible... I know I've mentioned loving the canned IPA format best before, and the difference with Lupilin is amazing too!

    I'm sure someone will be able to confirm my suspicion that when Odell decided to start canning, they got the absolute best line on the market- right?

    This was almost a full week ago, meaning it's ancient history to me now :grinning: (just had a pour in the taproom; didn't grab any cans). That said, I don't remember thinking that the flavor tapered off too quickly, but without having had the 1st batch for reference, I'm not sure how it stacks up.

    I grabbed a six pack yesterday. I'll report back :slight_smile:

    Last night I had Super Sneak from Odd13 as well. I was really hoping for a replacement for Hop Savant. I thought I had it until I swallowed... Same thing. The flavor disappeared! I don't know how it works, but it's the second beer from them to do it to me, and I've had maybe 10 beers do that in the past. I'd still recommend picking it up if you're into brett IPAs.

    @rscot231 What are the plans for the next Hop Troll? What hop do you plan to use? I drank my last one the other night, and now I'm sentimental. I'm looking forward to the next batch. I really loved the Comet version.

    Hop Troll El Dorado should be dropping some time in June. El Dorado is a fun hop. It should be tasty.

    I'm drinking my first grapefruit ipa and it happens to be from dry dock. Amazing beer that I hope I get to drink more of, grapefruit out of this world. A great summer beer for sure.

    I found the fresh batch of n00b to be much better than the first batch. Still room for improvement, but it's getting closer to living up to it's hype.

    @rscot231 PLEASE can we see something cool at "New Brew Fest" Sat 5/14...?
    n00b, Hop Troll, Super Sneak, or better yet experimental sour like PARTY RON 4??
    really hope so... will stop by taproom after regardless

    P.S. Only complaint with Superfan 5.4 and Supersneak is that they are slightly too crushable (nearly put away 6/4 of each tonight); good for business though! as I keep encouraging in Facebook group [​IMG]

    Likewise, same experience.
    Hop Savant is in another league, especially the 2015 series (drinking amazing right now)—always what I'm expecting / judging against, trying 4-5 new beers lately that I hope/want to be similar by description.
    Has anyone found high-quality CO Brett IPA besides?

    Hop savant is still good after 7+ months in the bottle? I heard hops die off in 90 days. :stuck_out_tongue:

    Isn't it $10? Seems like an expensive replacement :slight_smile:
