    I had some of this recent batch when it was hyper fresh (drank a couple days after canning), and then with two and a half weeks on it. Thought it tasted better after two weeks of being canned. After two weeks I got huge mango flavors with a hint of dankness.

    Thank goodness. I just picked up some and then saw the question about dropping off.

    Saw the new Stone mixed 12 had SSR, might have to pick one up. Also in the pack were IPA, ruination and a citrusy wit.

    Absolutely. My 5/12 canning was delicious within the first week. Cracked open the last one at the 3-week mark and it has some metallic resin notes.

    I got my 5/12 six pack on the 19th, and while it is not tasting like it was then, I still think it tastes solid. The hop has faded a good bit, but the booze really came forward and that with the sweet, malty taste keeps this one a winner for my tastes. I also had a bottle of 2014 Nugget Nectar a couple months ago that I thought tasted better than the bottles did fresh that year, so what do I know. One thing is for sure, the taste does change over a relatively short timeframe.

    Anyone see cans of Imperial Biscotti Break and Even More Jesus in the DMV area yet?

    I'm pretty sure you missed the boat on those.

    Cans or bottles? I've only ever seen them in bottles.

    Canton Crossing in Bmore had Even More Jesus bottles on the shelf as of Tuesday. I believe they have IBB too.

    Pretty sure I saw IBB at Dawson's last time I was there too but that was a few weeks ago.

    Cans, I've recently seen tallboys of IBB and EMJ lurking around. Two awesome stouts in cans makes me very moist...

    Awwwwww

    not just in cans, but like 1/3 the $/oz of the bombers. IBB is one of my favorite beers but I don't ever buy it because of the price.

    Should have grabbed some On Fleek and Pink Can Bunny Stout (not the actual name, but it's got a crazy long name), both from Stillwater.

    On Fleek is killer. Pours like straight motor oil out of the can. Price is great considering its 13% and I only paid like $12-13 or something for a 4pk.

    Did Bells Hopsoulution come and go already? I'm guessing it hasn't hit our market yet since I haven't seen anything here.
