    I definitely taste it, but not in a displeasing way.

    Finally had City Slickers last night, had it on tap at ABC beer co. It was absolutely what I was hoping it would be like. Hoping it doesn't end up a one-off like most collab beers are.

    It won't be. They've already brewed it twice.

    Oh Damn, didn't know it went twice. The can release was like 5 releases ago... was the cans the 1st release, and the stuff we're getting in bars now the 2nd batch?
    I honestly thought the city slickers can release felt like it was only 3 releases ago. I didn't go to it, but yea, time flies.

    Speaking of mango's anyone tried Trillion and Finback's Visible Spectrum? Style looks similar.

    Cans were the first release. These recent drafts are the 2nd batch. I absolutely loved the cans. I've heard this 2nd batch isn't quite as good. Hoping the brew again and can dial in the recipe a bit more.

    I'll be leaving the city also. Can't say im too sad, Ill get the next release. Ill be sitting on the beach sipping on some Carton/Kane cans which sounds a lot better than waiting in line.

    I'll be out of the city too, but not really sad about this. Don't have any desire to try Debbie Downer and the IPA is pretty mediocre, at best. Galaxy and Motueka is probably great but I assume I can pick that up next time or just get a growler somewhere.

    @Kanger is this the same batch from months ago or completely new?

    Considering the weekend and options, it should be relatively calm, no?

    I was trying to figure this out. The collab will probably bring out a lot of people, just given the status of both of those breweries. However, I'm hoping the Holiday Weekend keeps the crowd down.

    The Motueka + Galaxay sounds awesome.

    Really hoping for Debbie downer to hit the taproom Thursday or Friday want to try it before getting it in cans. Particularly because of it getting dumped the first time

    I don't think they'd can it if it wasn't up to snuff. (I understand wanting to try it before picking up multiple 4 packs though)
